Acknowledgments

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) conducted the 2012 Census of 

Agriculture, analyzed the data, and prepared this and other reports. The census provides a comprehensive picture of 

American agriculture in 2012, and NASS recognizes and appreciates that many individuals and organizations contributed 

to the effort. 

Most importantly, the success of the agriculture census depends directly on the cooperation of farmers and ranchers across 

the country. Recognizing that participating in the census is their responsibility and gives them a voice in their future, 

agricultural producers took the time to provide the information requested. We are grateful to every producer who 

participated in the 2012 Census of Agriculture. 

Also essential were the many partners who communicated about the census and encouraged producers to respond. Farm 

organizations, stakeholder groups, agricultural media, community-based organizations, and land grant and other 

universities helped to build awareness of the census and its importance to producers, their communities, and U.S. 

agriculture as a whole. We appreciate their help in reaching all kinds of agricultural operations, thereby ensuring a 

comprehensive census. 

Various USDA agencies and State departments of agriculture provided valuable advice during the planning, data 

collection, and processing phases of the census, as well as critical assistance at the local level to farmers and ranchers 

completing census forms. Our thanks to them and to the enumerators who collected data locally through NASS’ 

cooperative agreement with the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture. 

Members of the Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics offered advice on census questions, as well as their strong 

and consistent support and thoughtful recommendations for census and other programs. Representatives of public and 

private organizations provided input as well.

Finally, we acknowledge and appreciate the support services of the U.S. Department of Commerce National Processing 

Center in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

Introduction

HISTORY

The 2012 Census of Agriculture is the 28th Federal 

census of agriculture and the fourth conducted by the 

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), National 

Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The U.S. 

Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census 

conducted the census of agriculture for 156 years 

(1840-1996). The 1997 Appropriations Act 

contained a provision that transferred the 

responsibility for the census of agriculture to NASS. 

The history of collecting data on U.S. agriculture 

dates back as far as President George Washington, 

who kept meticulous statistical records describing 

his own and other farms. In 1791, President 

Washington wrote to farmers requesting information 

on land values, crop acreages, crop yields, livestock 

prices, and taxes. Washington compiled the results 

on an area extending roughly 250 miles from north 

to south and 100 miles from east to west which today 

lies in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West 

Virginia, and the District of Columbia, where most 

of the young country’s population lived. In effect, 

Washington’s inquiry was an attempt to fulfill the 

need for sound agricultural data for a nation that was 

heavily reliant on the success of agriculture. Such 

informal inquiries worked while the Nation was 

young, but were insufficient as the country 

expanded. 

In 1839, Congress appropriated $1,000 for “carrying 

out agricultural investigations, and procuring 

agricultural statistics.” The first agriculture census 

was taken in 1840 as part of the sixth decennial 

census of population. As the country expanded and 

agriculture evolved, the decade between censuses 

became too long an interval to capture the changes in 

agricultural production. After the 1920 census, the 

census interval was changed to every five years 

resulting in a separate mid-decade census of 

agriculture being conducted in 1925, 1935, and 

1945. The agriculture census continued to be taken 

as part of the decennial census through 1950. From 

1954 to 1974, the census was taken for the years 

ending in 4 and 9. In 1976, Congress changed the 5-

year data collection cycle to years ending in 2 and 7 

to coincide with other economic censuses. That 5-

year cycle continues to this day. 

USES OF CENSUS DATA

The census of agriculture provides a detailed picture 

of U.S. farms and ranches every five years. It is the 

only source of uniform, comprehensive agricultural 

data for every State and county or county equivalent. 

Census of agriculture data are routinely used by farm 

organizations, businesses, State departments of 

agriculture, elected representatives and legislative 

bodies at all levels of government, public and private 

sector analysts, the news media, and colleges and 

universities. The data are frequently used to:

• Show the importance and value of agriculture at 

the county, state, and national levels; 

• Provide agricultural news media and agricultural 

associations’ benchmark statistics for stories and 

articles on U.S. agriculture and the foods we 

produce;

• Compare the income and costs of production;

• Provide important data about the demographics 

and financial well being of producers;

• Evaluate historical agricultural trends to 

formulate farm and rural policies and develop 

programs that help agricultural producers;

• Allocate local and national funds for farm 

programs, e.g. extension service projects, 
VIII INTRODUCTION 2012 Census of Agriculture

agricultural research, soil conservation programs, 

and land-grant colleges and universities;

• Identify the assets needed to support agricultural 

production such as land, buildings, machinery, 

and other equipment; 

• Create an extensive database of information on 

uncommon crops and livestock and the value of 

those commodities for assessing the need to 

develop policies and programs to support those 

commodities; 

• Provide geographic data on production so 

agribusinesses will locate near major production 

areas for efficiencies for both producers and 

agribusinesses;

• Measure the usage of modern technologies such 

as conservation practices, organic production, 

renewable energy systems, internet access, and 

specialized marketing strategies; 

• Develop new and improved methods to increase 

agricultural production and profitability;

• Plan for operations during drought and 

emergency outbreaks of diseases or infestations 

of pests.

AUTHORITY

The 2012 Census of Agriculture is required by law 

under the “Census of Agriculture Act of 1997,” 

Public Law 105-113 (Title 7, United States Code, 

Section 2204g). The law directs the Secretary of 

Agriculture to conduct a census of agriculture every 

fifth year. The census of agriculture includes each 

State, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, 

the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, 

and American Samoa.

FARM DEFINITION

The census definition of a farm is any place from 

which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were 

produced and sold, or normally would have been 

sold, during the census year. The definition has 

changed nine times since it was established in 1850. 

The current definition was first used for the 1974 

Census of Agriculture and has been used in each 

subsequent agriculture census. This definition is 

consistent with the definition used for current USDA 

surveys. The farm definition used for each U.S. 

territory varies. The report for each territory 

includes a discussion of its farm definition.

DATA COMPARABILITY

Most data are comparable between the 2012 and 

2007 censuses. A few changes were made to the 

2012 census that affect comparability for some data 

items. See Appendix B, General Explanation and 

Census of Agriculture Report Form, Data Changes 

for a detailed discussion of these changes. Dollar 

figures are expressed in current dollars and have not 

been adjusted for inflation or deflation. In general, 

data for censuses since 1974 are not fully 

comparable with data for 1969 and earlier censuses 

due to changes in the farm definition.

REFERENCE PERIOD

Reference periods for the 2012 Census of 

Agriculture were similar to those used in the 2007 

Census of Agriculture. Reference periods used were:

• Crop production is measured for the calendar 

year, except for a few crops such as avocados, 

citrus, and olives for which the production year 

overlaps the calendar year. See Appendix B, 

General Explanation and Census of Agriculture 

Report Form for details.

• Livestock, poultry, and machinery and equipment 

inventories, market value of land and buildings, 

and grain storage capacity are measured as of 

December 31 of the census year.

• Crop and livestock sales, other farm-related 

income, direct sales income, income from federal 

farm programs, Commodity Credit Corporation 

loans, Conservation Reserve, Farmable Wetlands, 

Conservation Reserve Enhancement, and 

Wetlands Reserve Program participation, farm 

expenses, chemical and fertilizer use, irrigated 

acreage, and hired farm labor data are measured 

for the calendar year.

TABLES AND APPENDICES

Chapter 1. Table 1 shows State-level historical data 

through the 1982 census and tables 2 through 63 

show detailed State-level data usually accompanied 

by historical data from the 2007 census. Tables 64 

through 70 show detailed State-level data crosstabulated by several categories for the 2012 census 

only.

Chapter 2. County-level data are presented in 55 

tables in 2 different table formats - county and 

county summary. Most tables include 2007 historical 

data. County tables include general data for all 

counties within the State. The county names are 

listed in alphabetical order in the column headings. 

County summary tables provide comprehensive data 

for all counties reporting a data item. 

Appendix A. Provides information about data 

collection and data processing activities and 

discusses the statistical methodology used in 

conducting and evaluating the census. Table A 

summarizes coverage, nonresponse, and 

misclassification adjustment for selected items for 

the State. Table B provides reliability estimates of

State totals for selected items. Table C summarizes 

coverage, nonresponse, and misclassification 

adjustment for selected items at the county level. 

Table D provides total number of American Indian 

or Alaska Native farm operators both on and off 

reservations by county.

Appendix B. Includes definitions of specific terms 

and phrases used in this publication, including items 

in the publication tables that carry the note "see 

text." It also provides facsimiles of the report form 

and instruction sheet used to collect data.

RESPONDENT CONFIDENTIALITY

In keeping with the provisions of Title 7 of the 

United States Code, no data are published that would 

disclose information about the operations of an 

individual farm or ranch. All tabulated data are 

subjected to an extensive disclosure review prior to 

publication. Any tabulated item that identifies data 

reported by a respondent or allows a respondent’s 

data to be accurately estimated or derived, was 

suppressed and coded with a ‘D’. However, the 

number of farms reporting an item is not considered 

confidential information and is provided even though 

other information is withheld.

SPECIAL EFFORTS DIRECTED AT 

MINORITIES

NASS implemented several activities to improve 

coverage of minority farm operators. These activities 

included, but were not limited to:

• Obtaining mail lists from organizations likely to 

contain names and addresses of minority farm 

operators; 

• Conducting pre-census promotion activities that 

targeted women, American Indian and Alaska 

Native, Black and African American, and 

Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin farm 

operators; 

• Special emphasis was placed on collecting data 

from individual operators on American Indian 

reservations in three States.

SPECIAL STUDIES AND CUSTOM 

TABULATIONS 

Special studies such as the 2013 Farm and Ranch 

Irrigation Survey and the 2013 Census of 

Aquaculture are part of the census program and 

provide supplemental information to the 2012 

Census of Agriculture in the respective subject area. 

Results are published on the internet. 

Custom-designed tabulations may be developed 

when data are not published elsewhere. These 

tabulations are developed to individual user 

specifications on a cost-reimbursable basis and 

shared with the public. Quick Stats, NASS’s online 

database that allows data users to build customized 

queries, should be investigated before requesting a 

custom tabulation.

All special studies and custom tabulations are subject 

to a thorough disclosure review prior to release to 

prevent the disclosure of any individual respondent 

data. Requests for custom tabulations can be 

submitted via the internet from the NASS home

2012 Census of Agriculture APPENDIX A A - 1

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Appendix A.

Census of Agriculture Methodology

The purpose of a census is to enumerate all objects 

with a defined characteristic. For the census of 

agriculture, that goal is to account for “any place 

from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products 

were produced and sold, or normally would have 

been sold, during the census year.” To do this, NASS 

creates a Census Mail List (CML) of agricultural 

operations that potentially meet the farm definition, 

collects agricultural information from those 

operations, reviews the data, corrects or completes 

the requested information, and combines the data to 

provide information on the characteristics of farm 

operations and farm operators at the national, State, 

and county levels. In this appendix, these census 

processes are described.

THE CENSUS POPULATION

The Census Mail List

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) 

maintains a list of farmers and ranchers from which 

the Census Mail List (CML) is compiled. The goal is 

to build as complete a list as possible of agricultural 

places that meet the farm definition. The CML 

compilation begins with the list used to define 

sampling populations for NASS surveys conducted 

for the agricultural estimates program. Each record 

on the list includes name, address, and telephone 

number plus additional information that is used to 

efficiently administer the census of agriculture and 

agricultural estimates programs.

NASS builds and improves the list on an ongoing 

basis by obtaining outside source lists. Sources 

include State and federal government lists, producer 

association lists, seed grower lists, pesticide 

applicator lists, veterinarian lists, marketing 

association lists, and a variety of other agriculturerelated lists. NASS also obtains special commodity 

lists to address specific list deficiencies. These 

outside source lists are matched to the NASS list 

using record linkage programs. Most names on 

newly acquired lists are already on the NASS list. 

Records not on the NASS list are treated as potential 

farms until NASS can confirm their existence as a 

qualifying farm. Staff in NASS field offices 

routinely contact these potential farms to determine 

whether they meet the farm definition. For the 2012 

Census of Agriculture, NASS made a concerted 

effort to work with Community-Based Organizations 

not only to improve list coverage for minorities but 

also to increase census awareness and participation.

List building activities for developing the 2012 CML 

started in 2009 by updating list information from 

respondents to the 2007 Census of Agriculture. 

Between 2010 and 2012, NASS conducted a series 

of National Agricultural Classification Surveys 

(NACS) on approximately 1.7 million records, 

which included nonrespondents from the 2007 

census and newly added records from outside list 

sources. The NACS report forms collected 

information that was used to determine whether an 

operation met the farm definition. If the definition 

was met, the operation was added to the NASS list 

and subsequently to the CML. Addressees that were 

nonrespondents to a NACS were also added to the 

CML and identified with a special status code.

Measures were taken to improve name and address 

quality. Additional record linkage programs were 

run to detect and remove duplicate records both 

within each State and across States. List addresses 

were processed through the United States Postal 

Service’s National Change of Address Registry and 

the Locatable Address Conversion System to ensure 

they were correct and complete. Records on the list 

with missing or invalid phone numbers were 

matched against a nationally available telephone 

database to obtain as many phone numbers as 

possible. To reduce costs, operations with 

characteristics that indicated they were unlikely to be 

farms, according to the farm definition, were 
A - 2 APPENDIX A 2012 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

removed from the list.

The official CML for the 2012 Census of Agriculture 

was established on September 1, 2012. The list 

contained 3,009,641 records. There were 2,387,326 

records that were thought to meet the NASS farm 

definition and 622,315 potential farm records, which 

included NACS nonrespondents, other records added 

to the CML by the NASS field offices after the 

record linkage process, and late adds to the CML 

that were not included in any previous NACS or 

State screening survey.

Not on the Mail List (NML)

Extensive efforts are directed toward developing a 

CML that includes all farms in the U.S. However, 

some farms are not on the list, and some agricultural 

operations on the list are not farms. NASS uses its 

June Agricultural Survey (JAS) to quantify the 

number and types of farms not on the CML. The 

tracts in the JAS that are not on the CML are said to 

be in the Not on the Mail List (NML) domain. If a 

tract in the NML domain is determined to be a farm 

during the census, it is an NML farm. The NML 

farms are used to estimate the undercoverage 

associated with the census.

The NASS area frame, which is used for the JAS, 

covers all land in the U.S. and includes all farms. 

The land in the U.S. is stratified by characteristics of 

the land. A probability sample of segments is drawn 

within each stratum for the JAS. Segments of 

approximately equal size are delineated within each 

stratum and designated on aerial photographs. The 

JAS sample of segments is allocated to strata to 

provide accurate measures of acres planted to widely 

grown crops, farm numbers, and inventories of 

cattle. Sampled segments in the JAS are personally 

enumerated. Each operation identified within a 

segment boundary is known as a tract. 

The 2012 JAS sample was increased to improve the 

farm counts for operations that produced specialty 

commodities or had socially disadvantaged or 

minority operators. The total sample consisted of 

14,376 segments of which 3,291 were additional 

segments added to facilitate the use of the JAS as an 

Agricultural Coverage Evaluation Survey (ACES). 

The additional segments were added based upon 

multivariate sample allocations to target specific 

items at the U.S. level. The 2012 JAS consisted of 

sample segments from all States, with the exception 

of Alaska where NASS does not maintain an area 

frame.

During the JAS prescreening operation, each tract is 

identified as either agricultural or non-agricultural. 

Each JAS agricultural tract is identified as a farm or 

non-farm in June based on the farm definition. Nonagricultural tracts are further classified into 

categories; with farm potential, with unknown farm 

potential, or with no farm potential. The names and 

addresses collected in the 2012 JAS were matched to 

the CML. Those from the JAS 2012 survey that did 

not match were determined to be in the NML domain 

and sent a yellow census report form so that they 

could be differentiated from the green report form 

sent to those addressees on the CML. Instructions 

on the census report form directed any respondent 

who received duplicate forms to complete the CML 

form and to mail all duplicate forms back together. 

Those who returned a CML and an NML form had 

been misclassified as NML and were removed from 

the NML domain. 

The initial NML mailout consisted of 36,021 

records. An additional 403 June area tracts linked to 

Census records that were Undeliverable as 

Addressed (UAA) were later added to the NML 

domain. A total of 36,424 NML records were 

summarized of which 5,565 records were truly NML 

and in-scope. 

The farm/nonfarm status of each NML domain 

operation was determined based on the reported data 

in the census form. An operation in the NML domain 

that was determined to be a farm is referred to as an 

NML farm. Characteristics of NML farms and their 

operators provided a measure of the undercoverage 

of farms on the CML. The percentage of farms not 

represented on the CML varied considerably by 

State. In general, NML farms tended to be small in 

acreage, production, and sales of agricultural 

products. Farm operations were missing from the 

CML for various reasons, including the possibility 

that the operation started after development of the 

CML, the operation was so small that it did not 

appear in any agriculture-related source list, or the 

operation was misclassified as a nonfarm prior to 

census mailout. The CML was used with the NML in 
2012 Census of Agriculture APPENDIX A A - 3

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

a capture-recapture framework to represent all 

farming operations across all States in the JAS 

sample.

DATA COLLECTION OUTREACH AND

PROMOTIONAL EFFORTS

NASS planned and executed a multi-phase strategic 

communications campaign for the 2012 Census of 

Agriculture, to increase the level of awareness and 

response among all U.S. agricultural producers.

• Phase 1 ran from October 2011 − July 2012. It 

raised awareness about the census and list 

building, encouraged producers to sign up in 

response to NASS mailings and at community, 

association, and other stakeholder meetings where 

NASS partners reached out.

• Phase 2 ran from July 2012 − December 2012. It 

notified farm operators and agricultural 

organizations that the census would be mailed in 

December, and encouraged communications 

regarding the census.

• Phase 3 ran from December 2012 – July 2013. It 

focused on census data collection with messaging 

urging response, reminding operators that it’s-nottoo-late-to-respond, and thank-you messaging.

• Phase 4 began in February 2014. It communicated

information about the data release plan, which has 

four phases:

 Phase A (November 2012 − December 2013) 

focused on thanking farmers for their 

participation in the census and partners for 

their leadership.

 Phase B (January 2014 – February 2014) drew 

attention to the preliminary census release.

 Phase C (February 2014 through May 2014) 

focused on the final census release.

 Phase D (ongoing) continues to focus on the 

census findings as they are released.

As part of the plan, NASS targeted selective 

communications and outreach efforts on beginning 

and minority farm operators. All of these efforts 

were accomplished through an integrated 

communications program that focused on four 

primary areas: partnership building, local-level 

outreach, public relations, and paid media. External

support was provided by a private agricultural 

communications agency.

The unifying force behind the 2012 communications 

campaign was the theme “There’s Strength in 

Numbers.” This was accompanied by supporting 

messages and artwork that created a consistent look 

and feel for all census communications. All 

messages and materials served the purpose of 

inspiring action: Grow Your Farm Future - Shape 

Your Farm Programs - Boost Your Rural Services -

Fill out your Census of Agriculture - Do your part to 

be counted - There’s strength in numbers.

Partnership and Local-Level Outreach

At the national level, NASS officials met with 

leaders from dozens of key agricultural 

organizations, State departments of agriculture, and 

other USDA agencies, to successfully secure their 

support in promoting the census among their 

constituencies. Stakeholders partnered with NASS to 

promote the 2012 Census of Agriculture through 

publications, special mailings, speeches, social 

media, websites, and other communications. In 

addition, through grassroots-level outreach and 

efforts, NASS partnered with a number of 

community-based organizations to reach minority 

and limited-resource farmers and ranchers. All 

national-level outreach was encouraged and mirrored 

at the regional, State, and local levels. Among the 

highlights of these partnership efforts was the 

production of more than 40 television and radio 

public service announcements (PSAs) featuring the 

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, State secretaries, 

directors, and commissioners of agriculture and 

leaders from community-based organizations. The 

PSAs, available in both English and Spanish, 

encouraged farmers and ranchers to respond to the 

2012 Census of Agriculture.

Coverage of American Indian and Alaska 

Native Farm Operators

To maximize coverage of American Indian and 

Alaska Native farm operators, special procedures 

were followed in the census. A concerted effort was 

made to get individual reports from every American 

Indian and Alaska Native farm operator in the 

country. If this was not possible within some 

reservations, a single reservation-level census report 

was obtained from knowledgeable reservation 

officials. These reports covered agricultural activity 
A - 4 APPENDIX A 2012 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

on the entire reservation. NASS reviewed these data 

and removed duplication with any data reported by 

American Indian or Alaska Native farm operators 

who responded on an individual census report form. 

Additionally NASS obtained, from knowledgeable 

reservation officials, the count of American Indian 

and Alaska Native farm operators (on reservations) 

who were not counted through individual census 

report forms, but whose agricultural activity was 

included in the reservation-level report form. 

This information is summarized in Table D, 

American Indian and Alaska Native Operators: 

2012, providing the number of farm operators (for up 

to three operators per farm) reported as American 

Indian or Alaska Native in the race category, either 

as a single race or in combination with other races, 

on the individual census report forms, plus the total 

number of American Indian or Alaska Native 

operators farming on reservations as reported by 

reservation officials. The count from the individual 

report forms is summarized in the “Individually 

reported” column. It includes operators on or off 

reservations. The “Other” column provides counts 

of operators on reservations as reported by a 

reservation or tribal official. The “Total” column is 

simply a sum of the “Individually reported” and the 

“Other” columns. Tables in other parts of the 

publication count the reservation-level reports as 

single farms.

Public Relations

In the public relations arena, NASS and the 

contractor worked with internal and external 

stakeholders to equip them with communications 

tools and resources to deliver the census 

communications message to their audiences. NASS 

utilized its Intranet to deliver materials to the 12

regional and 46 field offices and created a “Partner 

to Promote the Census” portal on the census website 

to deliver public relations materials and tools to 

external stakeholders. The materials included, but 

were not limited to: customizable news releases, 

feature stories, newsletter articles, blogs; drop-in 

advertisements; website buttons and banners; 

PowerPoint templates; brochures; and more. In 

addition, at the national level NASS issued a dozen 

news releases citing department and agency 

spokespeople and published timely and relevant 

pieces to the USDA blog highlighting the census. 

These public relations efforts at the national, State, 

and local levels helped ensure that NASS’s message 

about the census was continually in the media, 

including print and online publications, a variety of 

social media, radio, and some television programs. 

Media outlets included both those specializing in 

agriculture and more general outlets.

Paid Media

For the 2012 Census of Agriculture, NASS placed 

special emphasis on reaching new and beginning 

farmers, while continuing efforts to improve its 

reach within previously under-represented 

populations. Even with increasingly limited budgets 

and resources, NASS was able to apply a portion of 

funds towards paid media. Strategically, NASS 

purchased limited print and online advertising in 

areas where there was the potential for high 

concentrations of under-represented populations and 

new and beginning farmers and ranchers.

DATA COLLECTION

Method of Enumeration

Data collection was accomplished primarily by 

mailout/mailback, but supplemented with Electronic 

Data Reporting (EDR) on the Internet, and personal 

enumeration for special classes of records in the 

census operations. Personal enumeration 

(interviewing) involved the use of both ComputerAssisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) and 

Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI). 

Enumerators at the NASS National Operations 

Center in St. Louis, MO conducted CATI data 

collection. In addition, enumerators under contract 

with NASS through the National Association of 

State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) 

conducted phone and personal interviews with 

respondents. For the 2012 Census of Agriculture, 

NASS implemented a pre-notification strategy in an 

effort to increase awareness, improve overall 

responses, and encourage respondents to report early 

to avoid continued correspondence. All records in 

the initial mailout received either a postcard or prerecorded voice message announcing the census mail 

packets were coming.

Report Forms

There were seven regionalized versions of the report 

forms used for the 2012 Census of Agriculture. The 

report form versions were designed to facilitate 

reporting crops most commonly grown within each 

report form region. Additionally, an American 

Indian report form was developed to facilitate 

reporting for operations on reservations in Arizona, 

New Mexico, and Utah. The regional report form 

numbers are: 12-A101, 12-A102, 12-A103, 12-

A104, 12-A105, 12-A106 and 12-A107 (HI). The 

American Indian report form is 12-A200. All of the 

forms allowed respondents to write in specific 

commodities that were not listed on their form.

Report Form Mailings

Pre-notification by postcard or pre-recorded message 

began December 10, 2012. Approximately 3.0 

million mail packets were mailed in December 2012. 

Each packet contained a cover letter, instruction 

sheet, a labeled report form, and a return envelope. 

The Census Bureau’s National Processing Center 

(NPC) in Jeffersonville, IN was contracted to 

perform mail packet preparation, initial mailout, and 

two follow-up mailings to nonrespondents.

The initial mailout was followed by a thank-you 

reminder postcard that was delivered in January 

2013 to all operations that received mail packets. 

First follow-up mail packets were mailed in midFebruary 2013 to approximately 1.0 million 

nonrespondents. Second follow-up mail packets 

were mailed in mid-March 2013 to approximately 

750,000 nonrespondents.

Personal Follow-up

Operating concurrently with NPC’s mail data 

collection efforts, NASS telephone call centers 

targeted selected groups of census nonrespondents 

for telephone enumeration. NASS field offices 

targeted selected groups of census records for inperson enumeration. These efforts were referred to 

as:

• Suspicious Out of Scope Follow-up

• Criteria Record Follow-up

• Must Case Follow-up

• American Indian and Alaska Native Farm 

Operator Follow-up

• Low Response County Follow-up

• Last Call Nonresponse Follow-up

• Not on Mail List (NML) Follow-up

Suspicious Out-of-Scope Follow-up. The Suspicious Out-of-Scope Follow-up was a phone followup that began in February 2013 and was conducted 

through May 2013. It included records that mailed 

their form back with a response that they were no 

longer farming. These operations had reported 

agricultural information in another survey during 

2012. The operations were re-contacted with a CATI 

instrument to either verify the respondent was not 

farming or complete a census report form.

Criteria Record Follow-up. Nonrespondents and 

refusals to the National Agricultural Classification 

Surveys received unique coding on the CML and are 

referred to collectively as Criteria Records for 

follow-up data collection. These Criteria Records 

typically had a lower probability of meeting the farm 

definition and were less likely to respond. It was 

critical to identify those records in this group that 

represented farms to provide coverage of the small 

farm population. Small farms make up a significant 

portion of the overall U.S. farm population.

For the 2012 Census of Agriculture, 276,043 Criteria 

Records were included in the Census Mail List 

(CML). A sample of 23,739 Criteria Records was 

selected for targeted data collection efforts. The 

sampled records were first contacted by telephone 

using the census CATI instrument beginning in 

February 2013 after the initial mail returns were 

processed. Certified mail to 18,831 respondents was 

used for those who could not be contacted by 

telephone. Data collection resulted in 10,887 returns 

from both telephone and certified mail. The in-scope 

rate from the returns was applied to the remaining 

criteria records during replication, which is described 

in the next sub-section.

Must Case Follow-up. Must cases were known 

large operations, the absence of which could have 

significantly affected the accuracy of census results. 

For the 2012 Census of Agriculture, 118,533 records 

were categorized as Must cases. Each active Must 

operation was accounted for by mail receipt, phone 

interview, or personal enumeration; if an operation 

was no longer in operation, its nonfarm status was 
A - 6 APPENDIX A 2012 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

documented. CATI calling of nonrespondent Must 

cases was undertaken by call centers from March 

2013 through May 2013, after the initial and first 

follow-up mailing. Following the CATI calling, the 

remaining nonresponse Must cases were assigned to 

field offices for personal enumeration. Because of 

the potential importance of Must cases, they were all 

accounted for and therefore not eligible for 

nonresponse weighting adjustment.

American Indian and Alaska Native Farm 

Operator Follow-up. The American Indian report 

form (12-A200) was mailed to all operations in 

Arizona, New Mexico and Utah thought to have an 

American Indian or Alaska Native operator. It was 

included in the initial mailout, but due to poor mail 

response a personal enumeration data collection 

strategy was utilized with no additional mail followup. A concerted effort was made to get individual 

reports from every American Indian and Alaska 

Native farm operator in the country. If this was not 

possible within a reservation, a single reservationlevel census report was obtained from 

knowledgeable reservation officials. These reports 

covered agricultural activity on the entire 

reservation. The NASS reviewed these data and 

removed any duplicate data reported by American 

Indian or Alaska Native farm operators from that 

reservation who responded on an individual census 

report form. Additionally NASS obtained, from 

knowledgeable reservation officials, the count of 

American Indian and Alaska Native farm operators 

(on the reservations) who were not counted through 

individual census report forms, but whose 

agricultural activity was included in the reservationlevel report form.

Low Response County Follow-up. The Low 

Response County (LRC) follow-up activity was used

to increase the response rate in all counties to at least 

75 percent. CATI was used for this follow-up 

activity. NASS utilized an adaptive design technique 

to identify particular records for telephone contact, 

in an effort to increase coverage on minority 

operations and operations known to produce 

specialty commodities. In early April 2013, NASS 

identified nonresponse cases in counties with a 

response rate of less than 75 percent. Nonresponse 

records in these counties were then prioritized so that 

minority operations and specialty commodity 

producers were the primary records delivered to 

phone enumerators. Nonrespondent telephone 

contact information was transmitted electronically to 

NASS call centers and incorporated into their CATI 

instrument. CATI follow-up activities began in midApril 2013 and continued through mid-June 2012. 

Automated procedures were employed biweekly to 

ensure that the record selection procedures were 

targeting counties that would meet the goals of 

increasing minority operation coverage and to 

monitor the number of respondents needed to reach 

the 75 percent county response rate. When the 

required number of completions was achieved for a 

given county, LRC activity was suspended in that 

county.

Last Call Nonresponse Follow-up. The Last Call 

Nonresponse Follow-up activity was utilized to 

increase the national response rate to 80 percent. All 

remaining nonresponse records with an expected 

value of sales greater than $50,000 in counties that 

had not achieved a 75-percent response rate were 

eligible for this phone follow-up activity. CATI was 

used for this activity and began in mid-July 2013 and 

lasted until August 1, 2013. Automated procedures 

were employed to monitor the number of 

respondents needed and completed. When a 75 

percent response rate was achieved for a given 

county, follow-up in that county was suspended. 

NASS achieved its goal of an 80-percent national 

response rate utilizing Last Call Nonresponse 

Follow-up.

Not on the Mail List (NML) Follow-up. To 

account for farming operations not on the CML, 

NASS used its 2012 JAS supplemented sample from 

the NASS area frame. The NASS area frame covers 

all land in the U.S. with the exception of Alaska and 

includes all farms. As previously described, the 

NASS conducted a record linkage operation between 

the CML records and the records from the 2012 JAS. 

Those 2012 JAS records that did not match records 

on the CML were designated as “Not on the Mail 

List (NML)” records. These records were mailed a 

yellow census form so that it could be differentiated 

from the green forms mailed to CML records. The 

NML records were mailed at the same time as the 

census mailing and received the same follow-up 

procedures as the census mailing through the first 

follow-up in mid-February 2013. Beginning in 

March 2013, CATI was used for nonresponse 

follow-up for NML nonrespondents.
2012 Census of Agriculture APPENDIX A A - 7

Replication

Replication is utilized to improve efficiency and 

reduce respondent burden. To adjust for 

nonresponse associated with criteria records in the 

2007 Census of Agriculture, NASS replicated a set 

of respondents determined to be in-scope from the 

last mailing of the Agricultural Identification Survey 

(AIS), conducted in December 2006. The replicated 

records represented operations that were relatively 

small in size and homogeneous in nature. Replicated 

records were assumed to be in-scope, based on their 

AIS reported data.

For the 2012 Census of Agriculture, a first mailing 

was sent to the criteria records, a subpopulation 

consisting of all of the approximately 74,000 

respondents to the 2011 NACS mailing. This 

included pre-notification using a pre-recorded 

message, the first mailing, and the thank-you 

reminder post card. No further follow-up efforts 

were conducted on this subpopulation. As in 2007, 

the agricultural operations in this subpopulation were 

relatively small in size and homogeneous in nature. 

The responses from the criteria records were used to 

estimate the in-scope rate for the 20,168 

nonrespondents from this subpopulation.

Records were selected randomly for replication or 

coding as out-of-scope based on the estimated inscope rate. The use of the in-scope rate after one 

mailing is supported by analysis of 2007 census data, 

which indicated the early in-scope rate was a 

reasonable proxy for the in-scope rate for the 

subpopulation of criteria records that did not respond 

to the NACS immediately preceding the census 

mailing. Of the 20,168 NACS records with no 

response, 16,762 records were selected to be inscope.

Data relationships between the 2012 responses and 

their respective NACS data were applied to the 

NACS data for the nonrespondents selected to be inscope to derive values to seed replication. Then 

replication was conducted through imputation.

Criteria records with no response to the December 

2011 NACS were excluded in the capture-recapture 

adjustments for coverage, response, or correct 

classification. The in-scope records were each given 

an initial weight of one. However, for calibration, the 

replicated in-scope records were eligible for a 

coverage adjustment.

REPORT FORM PROCESSING

Data Capture

The Census Bureau’s National Processing Center 

(NPC) in Jeffersonville, IN was contracted to 

process returned mail packets. NASS staff on site at 

the NPC provided technical guidance and monitored 

NPC processing activities. All report forms returned 

to the NPC were immediately checked in, using bar 

codes printed on the mailing label, and removed 

from follow-up report form mailings. All forms with 

any data were scanned and an image was made of 

each page of a report form. Optical Mark 

Recognition (OMR) was used to capture categorical 

responses and to identify the other answer zones in 

which some type of mark was present.

Data entry operators keyed data from the scanned 

images using OMR results that highlighted the areas 

of the report forms with respondent entries. The 

keyer evaluated the contents and captured pertinent 

responses. Ten percent of the captured data were 

keyed a second time for quality control. If 

differences existed between the first keyed value and 

the second, an adjudicator handled resolution. The 

decision of the adjudicator was used to grade the 

performance of the keyers, who were required to 

maintain a certain accuracy level.

The images and the captured data were transferred to 

NASS’s centralized network and became available to 

field offices and headquarters on a flow basis. The 

images were available for use in all stages of review. 

Images were computer generated for reports 

obtained from the telephone interviews and the 

Internet.

Editing Data

Captured data were processed through a computer 

formatting program, which verified that records were 

valid – that the record identification number was on 

the list of census records, that the reported counties 

of operation and production were valid, and other 

related criteria. Rejected records were referred to 
A - 8 APPENDIX A 2012 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

analysts for correction. Accepted records were sent 

to a complex computer batch edit process. Each 

execution of the computer edit in batch mode 

consisted of records from only one State and flowed 

as the data were received from the NPC, the NASS 

Electronic Data Reporting (EDR) web utility, or the 

Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) 

applications.

The computer edit determined whether a reporting 

operation met the qualifying criteria to be counted as 

a farm (in-scope). The edit examined each in-scope 

record for reasonableness and completeness and 

determined whether to accept the recorded value for 

each data item or to take corrective action. Such 

corrective actions included removing erroneously 

reported values, replacing an unreasonable value 

with one consistent with other reported data, or 

providing a value for an overlooked item. To the 

extent possible, the computer edit determined a 

replacement value. Strategies for determining 

replacement values are discussed in the next section. 

Operations failing to meet the qualifying criteria 

were categorized as out-of-scope for the census; that 

is, they were classified as being a nonfarm. Out-ofscope records that NASS had reason to believe might 

be in-scope (indications of recent and/or significant 

agricultural activity reported on NASS surveys, for 

example) were referred to analysts for verification.

The edit systematically checked reported data 

section-by-section with the overall objective of 

achieving an internally consistent and complete 

report. NASS subject-matter experts had previously 

defined the criteria for acceptable data. Problems 

that could not be resolved within the edit were 

referred to an analyst for intervention. Prior to the 

census mailout, NASS established a group of 90 

analysts in a Census Editing Unit in the National 

Operations Center in St. Louis, MO who examined 

the scanned images, consulted additional sources of 

information, and determined an appropriate action. 

Field office analysts also participated using an 

interactive version of the edit program to submit 

corrected data and immediately re-edit the record to 

ensure a satisfactory solution.

Imputing Data

The edit determined the best value to impute for 

reported responses that were deemed unreasonable 

and for required responses that were absent. If an 

item could not be calculated directly from other 

current responses, the edit determined whether 

acreage, production or inventory items had been 

reported for that farm on a recent NASS crop or 

livestock survey. For operators who had not 

changed in five years, demographic variables such as 

race and sex were taken from the previous census. 

Administrative data from the Farm Service Agency 

were used for a few items, such as Conservation 

Reserve Program acreage. When deterministic edit 

logic and previously-reported data sources proved 

inadequate, data from a reporting farm of similar 

type, size, and location (a donor farm) were 

considered. In cases where automated imputation 

was unable to provide a consistent report, the record 

was referred to an analyst for resolution.

Separate system processes were established to 

efficiently provide data from a similar farm to the 

edit when donor imputation was required. The farm 

characteristics used to define similarity between a 

recipient record and its donor record were 

determined dynamically by the edit logic. 

Euclidean distance was used for similarity 

computations, with each contributing similarity 

characteristic scaled appropriately. The most similar 

farm based on this criterion (the “nearest neighbor”) 

was identified and returned to the edit for use as a 

donor. The calculated distance between the 

centroids of the principal counties of production of 

the donor and recipient was always included as one 

of the measures of similarity.

To provide donors to the automated edit, a pool of 

successfully edited records was maintained for each 

section of the report form. These donor pools began 

with 2007 census data, reconfigured to emulate 2012 

data and then edited using 2012 logic. Data from the 

2010 Census Content Test were similarly remapped 

and edited before being added to the original donor 

pools. As 2012 records were successfully processed, 

they were added to the donor pools, which 

maintained the most recent data for each farm. 

Donor pools were updated approximately every 

other week, as determined by edit processing 

schedules. After several updates, all initial data 

records were dropped, leaving only 2012 records in 

the donor pools. After each update, donor pool 

records were grouped into strata containing farms in 

the same state of similar type and size, using a data-
2012 Census of Agriculture APPENDIX A A - 9

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

driven algorithm to define strata. Certain American 

Indian farms were treated as a separate group, 

effectively having their own donor pool.

In response to each donor request issued by the edit, 

a dedicated system process would search the 

appropriate stratum and respond with the most 

similar donor, while giving preference to more 

recent donors. In relatively rare instances where it 

was unable to provide a donor, the donor selection 

process issued an appropriate failure message to the 

edit. Imputation failures occurred for several 

different reasons. The requirement that an imputed 

value be positive could have ruled out all available 

donors, as could have the necessity for the donor 

record to satisfy a particular constraint – say, that the 

donor record has cattle, but no milk cows. In 

general, an imputation failure occurred if there was 

no satisfactory donor in the same profile as the report 

being edited. Records with imputation failures were 

either held until more records were available in the 

donor pool or referred to an analyst. In addition, 

when such a failure occurred in finding a donor for 

expenditure data, a program provided values from a 

table of donor pool averages in lieu of values from 

an individual donor, wherever possible. This 

‘failover’ utility was new for the 2012 census 

imputation process, and significantly reduced the 

number of imputation failures among the 

expenditure and labor variables. During the early 

stages of editing, records requiring imputation for 

production (and hence yields) of field crops or hay, 

land values, or certain expenditure variables were set 

aside or “parked.” These records were edited when 

the donor pools contained only 2012 records, 

ensuring that 2012 data were used in imputations for 

these variables.

After receiving a donor's data, the edit substituted 

the values into the edited record. In many cases, the 

donor record's data value was scaled using another 

data field specified in the edit logic. In such cases, 

the size of the auxiliary field's value in the edited 

record, relative to its value in the donor record, was 

used to inflate or reduce the donor record's value for 

the imputed field. The imputed data were then 

validated by the same edit logic to which reported 

data were subject. Since imputation was conducted 

independently for each occurrence, reports requiring 

multiple imputations may have drawn from multiple 

donors.

Data Analysis

The complex edit ensured the full internal 

consistency of the record. Successfully completing 

the edit did not provide insight as to whether the 

report was reasonable compared to other reports in 

the county. Analysts were provided an additional set 

of tools, in the form of listings and graphs, to review 

record-level data across farms. These examinations 

revealed extreme outliers, large and small, or unique 

data distribution patterns that were possibly a result 

of reporting, recording, or handling errors. Potential 

problems were researched and, when necessary, 

corrections were made and the record interactively 

edited again.

When NASS summarizes the census of agriculture, it 

assigns the data from an individual report to the 

“principal” county. The principal county is based on 

the operator’s response to a census question and is 

the one county in which the majority of agricultural 

products are produced. Because some large 

operations have significant production in multiple 

counties, some reports were broken up into multiple 

source counties, to more accurately allocate the data. 

Similarly, large farms operating in more than one 

State were treated as distinct, state-specific 

operations. A separate report form was completed 

for each county or State and a separate record was 

added.

ACCOUNTING FOR UNDERCOVERAGE,

NONRESPONSE, AND MISCLASSIFICATION

Although much effort was expended making the 

CML as complete as possible, the CML did not 

include all U.S. farms, resulting in list 

undercoverage. Some farm operators who were on 

the CML did not respond to the census, despite 

numerous attempts to contact them. In addition, 

although each operation was classified as a farm or a 

nonfarm based on the responses to the census report 

form, some were misclassified; that is, some 

nonfarms were classified as farms and some farms 

were classified as nonfarms. NASS’s goal was to 

produce agricultural census totals for publication that 

were fully adjusted for list undercoverage, 

nonresponse and misclassification at the county 

level.
A - 10 APPENDIX A 2012 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

In the 2007 Census of Agriculture, adjustments for 

undercoverage and nonresponse were estimated 

independently. In 2007, as in earlier censuses, the 

NASS area frame was used to adjust for 

undercoverage. This process assumed that the area 

frame provided complete coverage and that all 

operations were correctly classified as farm/nonfarm. 

To determine the extent of undercoverage in 2007, 

the CML records were matched to the area-frame 

tracts designated as agricultural, non-agricultural 

with potential, or non-agricultural with potential 

unknown in June. The area-frame tracts that did not 

match a CML record were designated as being in the 

Not on the Mail List (NML) domain. In 2007, tracts 

that were determined to be non-agricultural without 

potential during the pre-screening phase of the June 

Agricultural Survey (JAS) were not considered in the 

NML domain construction. The NML domain tracts 

were sent a census form and, if a tract was associated 

with a farm, then that farm contributed to the 

correction for undercoverage.

To adjust for nonresponse in 2007, each responding 

CML record was given a probability of being a farm 

using a classification tree. The inverse of this 

probability became the nonresponse weight for that 

record. For undercoverage, the adjustment provided 

State-level values. A State-level estimate was based 

on the weighted sum of the responders with an 

adjustment for the non-responders within that State 

plus the State-level undercoverage adjustment. 

Because State-level farm count estimates based on 

this two-step process sometimes had high standard 

errors and apparent biases, the national-level 

adjusted estimates were smoothed across States, 

producing initial State-level farm operation coverage 

targets.

Research following the 2007 Census of Agriculture 

led to the realization that some area-frame operations 

were misclassified as farm/nonfarm, which was in 

conflict with the previous assumption that the JAS 

farm classification was the accurate classification. 

Further, because nonresponse could only occur if the 

operation was on the CML, undercoverage and 

nonresponse were dependent. Thus in 2012, NASS 

used capture-recapture methodology to adjust for 

undercoverage, nonresponse, and misclassification. 

To implement capture-recapture methods, two 

independent surveys were required. The 2012 

Census of Agriculture (based on the CML) and the 

2012 JAS (based on the area frame) were those two 

surveys. Historically, NASS has been careful to 

maintain the independence of these two surveys.

A second assumption was that the proportion of JAS 

farms with a given set of characteristics captured by 

the census was equal to the proportion of U.S. farms 

with those same characteristics captured by the 

census.

For a farm to be identified as a farm, and thus 

captured by the census, it must be on the CML, 

respond to the census report form and, based on the 

census response, be classified as a farm; that is, the 

capture probability πC is of interest:

C



= π(CML, Responded, Farm on Census|Farm)

Two types of classification error can occur. First, a 

farm can be misclassified as a nonfarm. This type of 

misclassification is accounted for in determining the 

probability of capture πC. The second type of 

classification error results when a response to the 

census is classified as a farm operation when it does 

not meet the definition of a farm. That is, some 

farms on the CML may be misclassified from their 

census report response and may be nonfarms. To 

account for the misclassification of nonfarms as 

farms, the probability of a farm on the census being 

classified correctly must be estimated; that is,

CCFC  = π(Farm | Farm on Census)

where CCFC represents Correct Census Farm 

Classification. To adjust for undercoverage, 

nonresponse, and misclassification, each CML 

record classified as a farm based on its response to 

the census report form was given a weight of the 

ratio of the estimated probability of correct 

classification of a farm on the census and the 

estimated probability of capture (

where 

the hat symbol (^) denotes an estimate). To estimate 

the number of farms with a given set of 

characteristics, the weights of CML records 

responding as farms on the census and having that 

set of characteristics were summed. This estimator is

where F is the set of all CML records classified as

questionnaire.

To estimate the capture and correct census farm 

classification probabilities, a matched dataset 

consisting of JAS records and census records was 

created. Records in the 2012 JAS sample were 

matched to the 2012 census using probabilistic 

record linkage. The CML records that matched with 

JAS tracts represent the Census sample. Note: The 

Census Sample is a subset of the CML records and 

includes only those records matching a JAS tract. 

Both agricultural and non-agricultural tracts were 

included in the matched dataset. (This differs from 

the 2007 processes, which considered only the 

agricultural tracts and non-agricultural tracts with 

potential or with potential unknown. It also included 

CML records that responded to the census as a farm 

or nonfarm and CML records that did not respond to 

the census.)

Resolving Farm Status

The farm status based on census responses to either 

the CML or NML census data collection and the JAS 

agreed in most cases; these records are referred to as 

having resolved farm status. However, in other 

cases, a record was identified as a farm (nonfarm) on 

the JAS and as a nonfarm (farm) by the census 

through either the CML or the NML. Such records 

are said to have conflicting or unresolved farm 

status. An operation identified as a farm is referred 

to as in-scope; one identified as a nonfarm is referred 

to as out-of-scope. From the set of matched records, 

three groups with conflicting farm status were 

identified: 1) in-scope JAS records that were out-ofscope on the census and 2) census in-scope and JAS 

out-of-scope records, and 3) in-scope JAS records 

that did not have a census response. The records 

with conflicting farm status were sent to regional 

field offices for review. In each case, efforts were 

made to determine whether (1) the status had 

changed between June and December when the 

census was conducted, (2) the JAS farm status was 

correct, (3) the census farm status was correct, (4) 

the records were incorrectly matched, or (5) the farm 

status could not be resolved. Not all of the records 

with conflicting farm status could be resolved. In 

2012, 11.6 percent of the records in the Census 

Sample had unresolved farm status. Of these, 18.9 

percent were from nonresponse to the census report 

form.

The probability an operation is a farm was estimated 

for the records with unresolved farm status. Using 

the 2012 matched dataset, a logistic model of the 

probability an operation is a farm based on the 

records with resolved farm status was developed; 

that is, the operations where the farm (or nonfarm) 

status agreed between the JAS and the census were 

used to develop a missing data model, which was 

then used to resolve farm status. The final missing 

data model was used to impute the probability that 

each of the agricultural operations with unresolved 

farm status is a farm. For the resolved farms and 

nonfarms, the probability of the operation being a 

farm was 1 and 0, respectively. Five-fold crossvalidation was used to develop and to compare 

competing models. The accuracy of the model was 

thereby not overstated due to fitting and evaluating 

the model on the same set of data. To ensure that 

each of the cross-validation samples covered the 

U.S., the five cross-validation samples of JAS 

segments were drawn within State-stratum 

combinations. Characteristics of the JAS tracts were 

considered as potential covariates in the model. 

Because limited information is available for JAS 

nonfarm tracts, county-level socio-demographic 

variables from the most recent U.S. population 

census were also considered. The sample weight 

associated with each JAS tract was multiplied by the 

probability of being a farm. This adjusted weight 

was used in all subsequent modeling.

Capture Probabilities

Recall that, for a farm to be identified as a farm, and 

thus captured, by the census, it must be on the CML, 

respond to the census report form and, based on the 

census response, be classified as a farm. These 

adjustments are dependent so that the probability of 

capture πC may be written as
A - 12 APPENDIX A 2012 Census of Agriculture

The probability of capturing a farm depends on the 

characteristics of the farm. Using five-fold crossvalidation, three logistic models were developed 

based on the matched dataset. The first model 

estimated the probability of a farm being on the 

CML. The second model estimated the probability 

that a farm on the CML responded to the census 

report form. The final model estimated the 

probability that a farm that was on the CML and 

responded to the census was identified as a farm 

based on its response. The probability that a farm is 

captured by the census of agriculture is then the 

product of the three conditional probabilities that a 

farm is on the CML, responds, and is identified as a 

farm.

Note 1: Responses were required for Must cases. 

These operations were only included in modeling the 

probability of a farm being on the CML. 

Consequently, the weight associated with a Must 

record was the reciprocal of the probability of a farm 

being on the CML.

Note 2: Two sets of models were created. One set 

estimated the probability of capture for Texas farms. 

The other set provided estimated capture 

probabilities for farms in the remaining States, 

except for Alaska.

Note 3: Because Alaska is not included in the JAS 

and thus has no area frame, the Alaskan agricultural 

operations were not included in the capture-recapture 

process. No adjustments were made for 

undercoverage or misclassification. To account for 

nonresponse, the CML records were divided into 

three groups: (1) the Must records, (2) the Criteria

Records, and (3) the remaining CML records. The 

must records received a weight of one, thereby 

receiving no adjustment for nonresponse. The 

probability of response for each of the other two 

groups was the proportion of responders within the 

group. Each record within the group was then given 

a weight equal to the reciprocal of the probability of 

response.

Misclassification

An operation is misclassified if (1) it meets the 

definition of a farm, but is classified as a nonfarm on 

the census or (2) it does not meet the definition of a 

farm, but is classified as a farm on the census. The 

first type of misclassification is accounted for when 

modeling the probability of capture. An adjustment 

is still needed for the misclassification of nonfarms 

as farms. As with farm status and capture, the 

probability of this misclassification depends on an 

operation’s characteristics. Thus, a final logistic 

model was developed. Given that an operation was 

classified as a farm on the CML, the probability of 

its being a farm was modeled based on its 

characteristics. Five-fold cross-validation was used 

to ensure that the model was not over-fitted.

CALIBRATION

Each operation identified as being in-scope on the 

CML was given a weight equal to the probability of 

misclassification divided by the probability of 

capture. This weight accounted for undercoverage, 

nonresponse, and both types of misclassification.

The record weighting processes were initially 

applied at the State level to produce adjusted 

estimates of farm numbers and land in farms for 63 

different categories of 8 characteristics of the farm 

operation or the farm operator -- value of agricultural 

sales (8); age (2); female; race (4); Hispanic origin of 

principal farm operator ; 4 sales categories for each 

of 10 major commodities (40); and farm type groups 

(7). The State-level number of farms and land in 

farms were two additional adjusted estimates, 

resulting in 65 categories. To reduce the intercensal 

variation at the State level, the State targets were 

smoothed by averaging the 2012 estimates from 

capture-recapture and the published 2007 state 

estimates with the restrictions that the smoothed 

targets were within one standard error of the capturerecapture estimates. The smoothed State targets were 

rescaled so that they summed to the national capturerecapture estimates.

These State estimates were general purpose in that 

they did not provide any control over expected levels 

of commodity production of the individual farm 

operation. As a result of this limitation, the 
2012 Census of Agriculture APPENDIX A A - 13

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

procedures could have over-adjusted or underadjusted for commodity production. To address this, 

a second set of variables, known as commodity 

targets, was added to the calibration algorithm. 

These targets were commodity totals from 

administrative sources or from NASS surveys of 

nonfarm populations (e.g. USDA Farm Service 

Agency program data, Agricultural Marketing 

Service market orders, livestock slaughter data, 

cotton ginning data). The introduction of these 

commodity coverage targets strengthened the overall 

adjustment procedure by ensuring that major 

commodity totals remained within reasonable 

bounds of established benchmarks. Commodity 

coverage targets with acceptable ranges were 

established by subject-matter experts for each State, 

with New England treated as a State.

Each State was calibrated separately. The calibration 

algorithm addressed commodity coverage. The 

algorithm was controlled by the 65 State farm 

operation coverage targets and the State commodity 

coverage targets. To ensure that the calibration 

process converged with so many constraints, it was 

desirable to provide some tolerance ranges for each 

target. Although full calibration to a single point 

estimate would assure that the weighted total among 

census respondents equaled its target for each 

calibration variable in either set, it was not always 

possible to calibrate to such a large number of target 

values while ensuring that farm weights were within 

a reasonable range and not less than one. Because of 

this and because calibration targets are estimates 

themselves subject to uncertainty, NASS allowed 

some tolerance in the determination of the adjusted 

weights. Rather than forcing the total for each 

calibration variable computed using the adjusted 

weights to equal a specific amount, NASS allowed 

the estimated total to fall within a tolerance range. 

This tolerance strategy made it possible for the 

calibration algorithm to produce a set of satisfactory, 

adjusted weights.

Ranges for the farm operation coverage targets were 

determined differently from the commodity targets. 

The State target for number of farms had no 

tolerance range. The tolerance range for the 64 other 

State farm operation coverage targets was the 

estimated smoothed State total for the variable plus 

or minus one-half of the standard error of the 

capture-recapture estimate. This choice limited the 

cumulative deviation from the estimated total for a 

variable when State totals were summed to a U.S. 

level total. The commodity target tolerance ranges 

were determined by subject-matter experts, based on 

the amount of confidence in the source, and usually 

were less than plus or minus two percent of the 

target. Ranges were not necessarily symmetric 

around the target value.

Census data collection was assumed to be complete 

for very large and unique farms with their weight 

being controlled to 1 during the calibration 

adjustment process. For all other farms, adjustment 

weights were obtained using truncated linear 

calibration which forced the final census record 

weights to fall in the interval [1,6]. Adjustments 

began with the nonresponse and misclassification 

adjusted weights. Through calibration, a second 

stage weight that simultaneously satisfied all farm 

operation coverage and commodity coverage 

calibration targets was obtained. Calibration was 

seldom able to adjust weights so that all State targets 

were met. Within the calibration process, the highest 

priority for meeting a target was given to the number 

of farms, total land in farms, and top cash-receipt 

commodities accounting for 80 percent of the State’s 

production. All remaining targets associated with 

commodities and characteristics of farms and farm 

operators had equal priority. If a value within the 

tolerance range of any variable could not be 

achieved in a given State, the variable was removed 

as a target in that State and the calibration algorithm 

was rerun.

Weight computations in the final algorithms were 

performed to several decimals. Thus, the fullyadjusted weights were non-integer numbers. To 

ensure that all subdomains for which NASS 

publishes summed to their grand total, fully-adjusted 

weights were integerized. This eliminated the need 

for rounding individual cell values and ensured that 

marginal totals always added correctly to the grand 

total. As an example of how the integerization 

process worked, assume there were five census 

records in a county with final noninteger coverage 

weights of 2.2, for a total of 11. The integerization 

process randomly selected four of these records and 

rounded their final weight down to 2.0 and rounded 

the fifth record up to 3.0, for a total of 11.

The proportions of selected census data items that 
A - 14 APPENDIX A 2012 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

are due to coverage, response, and classification 

adjustments are displayed in Tables A and C. 

DISCLOSURE REVIEW

After tabulation and review of the aggregates, a 

comprehensive disclosure review was conducted. 

NASS is obligated to withhold, under Title 7, U.S. 

Code, any total that would reveal an individual’s 

information or allow it to be closely estimated by the 

public. Cell suppression was used to protect the 

cells that were determined to be sensitive to a 

disclosure of information. Farm counts are not 

considered sensitive and are not subject to disclosure 

controls.

Based on agency standards, data cells were 

determined to be sensitive to a disclosure of 

information if they violated either of two criteria 

rules. The threshold rule was violated if the data cell 

contained less than three operations. For example, if 

only one farmer produced turkeys in a county, NASS 

could not publish the county total for turkey 

inventory without disclosing that individual’s 

information. The dominance rule was violated if the 

distribution of the data within the cell allowed a data 

user to estimate any respondent’s data too closely. 

For example, if there are many farmers producing 

turkeys in a county and some of them were large 

enough to dominate the cell total, NASS could not 

publish the county total for turkey inventory without 

risking disclosing an individual respondent’s data. 

In both of these situations, the data were suppressed 

and a “(D)” was placed in the cell in the census 

publication table. These data cells were referred to 

as primary suppressions.

Since most items were summed to marginal totals, 

primary suppressions within these summation 

relationships were protected by ensuring that there 

were additional suppressions within the linear 

relationship that provided adequate protection for the 

primary. A detailed computer routine selected 

additional data cells for suppression to ensure all 

primary suppressions were properly protected in all 

linear relationships in all tables. These data cells 

were referred to as complementary suppressions. 

These cells were not themselves sensitive to a 

disclosure of information but were suppressed to 

protect other primary suppressions. A “(D)” was also 

placed in the cell of the census publication table to 

indicate a complementary suppression. A data user 

could not determine whether a cell with a (D) 

represented a primary or a complementary 

suppression.

Field office analysts reviewed all complementary 

suppressions to ensure no cells had been withheld 

that were vital to the data users. In instances where 

complimentary suppressions were deemed critically 

important to a State or county, analysts requested an 

override and a different complementary cell was 

chosen.

CENSUS QUALITY

The purpose of the census of agriculture is to 

account for “any place from which $1,000 or more 

of agricultural products were produced and sold, or 

normally would have been sold, during the census 

year.” To accomplish this, NASS develops a CML 

that contains identifying information for operations 

that have an indication of meeting the census 

definition, develops procedures to collect 

agricultural information from those records, 

establishes criteria for analyst review of the data, 

creates computer routines to correct or complete the 

requested information, and provides census estimates 

of the characteristics of farms and farm operators 

with associated measures of uncertainty.

It is not likely that either the CML includes all 

operations that meet the definition of a farm or that 

all those that do meet the definition of a farm 

respond to the census inquiry. The goal is to publish 

data with a high level of quality. There are many 

ways to measure the quality of a census.

One of the first indicators used is a measure of the 

response to the census data collection as it has 

generally been thought that a high response rate 

indicates more complete coverage of the population 

of interest. This is a valid assumption if the 

enumeration list, the CML here, has complete 

coverage of the population of interest. In the case of 

the census of agriculture, the definition requiring 

advance knowledge of sales makes achieving a high 

level of coverage difficult. To ensure that the census 

of agriculture is as complete as possible, records are 

included that might not meet the census definition of 

a farm – in fact, almost 50 percent more records than 

the anticipated number of qualifying farm operations 
2012 Census of Agriculture APPENDIX A A - 15

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

were included in the 2012 CML. A second indicator 

of quality then is the coverage of the farm population 

by the CML. Other indicators of quality relate to the 

accuracy and completeness of the data, and the 

validity of the procedures used in processing the 

data.

In some cases, NASS was able to produce measures 

of quality – such as the response rate to the data 

collection, the coverage of the census mail list, and 

the variability of the final adjusted estimates. In 

other cases, measures were not produced but 

descriptions of procedures that NASS used to reduce 

errors from the procedures were subsequently 

provided.

Census Response Rate

The response rate is one indicator of the quality of a 

data collection. It is generally assumed that if a 

response rate is close to a full participation level of 

100 percent, the potential for nonresponse bias is 

small, although this has been questioned recently in 

the literature. Because the CML contains both farm 

and nonfarm records, the response rate is an 

indicator of replying to the census data collection 

effort, but does not reflect whether those responding 

met the farm definition. The response rate for the 

2012 Census of Agriculture CML is 80.1 percent as 

compared with a response rate of 85.2 percent for the 

2007 Census of Agriculture and 88.0 for the 2002 

Census of Agriculture.

The 2012 Census of Agriculture response rate used 

the fourth response rate formula from the American 

Association of Public Opinion Research Response

O = number of other types of nonrespondents

Replicated = number of replicated records

e(U) = estimated number of operations of unknown

Records were classified into the above variables 

based on the combination of their active status (AS) 

codes, in-scope status, and replication status. Active 

status refers to the eligibility status of records for 

selection on the CML. All replicated records were 

considered to be a form of nonresponse and were 

classified into other nonrespondents; in-scope status 

was considered immaterial.

Certain active status classifications indicated records 

of unknown agricultural status. These classifications 

included records to be removed from the CML but 

had data from outside sources indicating agricultural 

activity, new records from outside data sources, 

nonrespondents and refusals to the NACS, records 

for regional office handling only, and records with 

Farm Service Agency or Conservation Reserve 

Program data on operations that are not owned by 

the principal operator. These records were stratified 

(grouped) based on their probabilities of being inscope had they responded. The estimated number of

Census Coverage

As a side-product of the statistical adjustment used 

to account for undercoverage, nonresponse of farms 

on the CML, and misclassification of responses to 

the census, the proportion of the adjustments due to 

each of those factors can be derived. The percentages 

of final census estimates due to adjustments for

undercoverage, nonresponse, and misclassification 

as well as the total percent adjustment for selected 

items are displayed in Tables A and C. 

MEASURED ERRORS IN THE CENSUS 

PROCESS

Although the census of agriculture does not 

inherently rely on a sample, it uses statistical 

procedures in compiling the CML, in its data 

collection procedures, in data editing and processing,

and in compiling the final data. Additionally, it uses 

statistical procedures to both measure errors in the 

various processes and in making adjustments for 

those errors in the final data. One example is the 

statistical process used to account for undercoverage, 

nonresponse of farms on the CML, and 

misclassification of responses to the census. The 

basis of the undercoverage adjustment is the capturerecapture procedure that uses the area sample 

enumeration from the June Agricultural Survey. The 

largest contribution to error in the census estimates is 

due to the adjustments for nonresponse, 

undercoverage, misclassification, calibration and 

integerization.

Variability in Census Estimates due to 

Statistical Adjustment

In conducting the 2012 Census of Agriculture, 

efforts were initiated to measure error associated 

with the adjustments for farm operations that were 

not on the CML, for farm operations that were on the 

CML but did not respond to the census report form , 

for farms and nonfarms that were misclassified as 

nonfarms and farms, respectively, for calibration, 

and for integerization. These error measurements 

were developed from the standard error of the 

estimates at the national, State, and county levels and 

were expressed as coefficients of variation (CVs) at 

the national and State levels and as generalized 

coefficients of variation (GCVs) at the county levels.

The standard error of an estimate is an estimate of 

the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of 

the estimator. Because Texas and Alaska were 

modeled separately from the other States, the 

variances of a national-level data item for these two 

States were computed separately and added to the 

variance of that data item for the rest of the U.S. The 

standard error was then the square root of the total 

variance. In each case, standard errors were 

computed using the group jackknife approach. To 

conduct the jackknifing, k mutually exclusive and 

exhaustive groups of JAS segments were formed. 

The groups were selected using a stratified random 

design so that each group reflected the survey 

design, including State and agricultural strata within 

a State. In turn, each group, j = 1, 2, ..., k, was 

deleted and the capture-recapture estimate CRi

(j) was 

computed for each data item i at the specified 

geographical level, such as nation, State, or county, 

using the remaining (k – 1) groups. Estimates of the 

variance and standard error associated with the 

capture-recapture estimate CRi are then, respectively,

Increasing k improves the estimate of the variance 

but, as k increases, the observations become too 

sparse to reflect the survey design and to provide 

country-wide coverage. Based on 2007 data, k = 10 

was determined to be the largest number of groups 

that could be formed and still have each group 

provide adequate coverage within all States and 

agricultural strata. Thus, 10 jackknife groups were 

used to provide standard errors for 2012 State and 

national estimates. To capture the additional 

variability from calibration and integerization, the 

standard errors were computed using the calibrated, 

integerized capture-recapture estimates from the 

jackknife groups. For the estimate of the number of 

farms with a given set of characteristics, only the 

CML records with those characteristics were used to 

obtain the overall estimate as well as the estimates 

from each jackknife group.

When the constraints of the calibration process 

produced an artificially small standard error, the 

more conservative capture-recapture standard error 

was used. Note that the jackknife groups must only 

be constructed once, and different subsets of the 

records were used to compute estimates and standard 

errors for the data items.

The CV is a measure of the relative amount of error

associated with the sample estimate:

( )

i

CR

CV 

where SE(CRi) is the standard error of the capturerecapture estimate for data item i. This relative 

measure allows the reliability of a range of estimates 

to be compared. For example, the standard error is 

often larger for large population estimates than for 

small population estimates, but the large population 

estimates may have a smaller CV, indicating a more 

reliable estimate. For county-level estimates, a 

generalized coefficient of variation (GCVs) was 

determined for each estimate within a State. A 

generalized variance function relates a function of 

the variance of an estimator to a function of the 

estimator. Within a State, the standard error of an 

estimate for a data item was often found to be 

linearly related to the estimate of that item with an 

intercept of zero. Based on this modeled relationship, 

the GCV is the slope of the line relating the standard 

error to the estimate, multiplied times 100 to 

represent the GCV as a percentage.

The standard error is the product of the CV (or GCV 

for county estimates) and the estimate divided by 

100. As an example, if the GCV for a State is 25 

percent and a county’s estimate is 4, then the 

standard error is 25(4)/100 = 1. The standard error of 

an estimated data item from the census provides a 

measure of the error variation in the value of that 

estimated data item based on the possible outcomes 

of the census collection, including variants as to who 

was on the CML, who returned a census form, who 

was misclassified either as a farm or as a nonfarm, 

and the uncertainty associated with calibration and 

integerization. With 95 percent confidence, an 

estimate is within two standard errors of the true 

value being estimated. For this example, with 95 

percent confidence, the estimate of 4 is within 2(1) = 

2 of the true county value.

Table B presents the fully adjusted estimates with 

the coefficient of variation for selected items. 

NONMEASURED ERRORS IN THE CENSUS 

PROCESS

As noted in the previous section, sampling errors can

be introduced from the coverage, nonresponse and

misclassification adjustment procedures. This error 

is measureable. However, nonsampling errors are 

imbedded in the census process that cannot be 

directly measured as part of the design of the census 

but must be contained to ensure an accurate count. 

Extensive efforts were made to compile a complete 

and accurate mail list for the census, to elicit 

response to the census, to design an understandable 

report form with clear instructions, to minimize 

processing errors through the use of quality control 

measures, to reduce matching error associated with 

the capture-recapture estimation process, and to 

minimize error associated with identification of a 

respondent as a farm operation (referred to as 

classification error). The weight adjustment and 

tabulation processes recognize the presence of 

nonsampling errors; however, it is assumed that 

these errors are small and that, in total, the net effect 

is zero. In other words, the positive errors cancel the 

negative errors.

Respondent and Enumerator Error

Incorrect or incomplete responses to the census 

report form or to the questions posed by an 

enumerator can introduce error into the census data. 

Steps were taken in the design and execution of the 

census of agriculture to reduce errors from 

respondent reporting. Poor instructions and 

ambiguous definitions lead to misreporting. 

Respondents may not remember accurately, may 

give rounded numbers, or may record an item in the 

wrong cell. To reduce reporting and recording errors, 

the report form was tested prior to the census using 

industry accepted cognitive testing procedures. 

Detailed instructions for completing the report form 

were provided to each respondent. Questions were 

phrased as clearly as possible based on previous tests 

of the report form. Computer-assisted telephone 

interviewing software included immediate integrity 

checks of recorded responses so suspect data could 

be verified or corrected. In addition, each 

respondent’s answers were checked for completeness 

and consistency by the complex edit and imputation 

system.

Processing Error

Processing of each census report form was another 

potential source of nonsampling error. All mail 
A - 18 APPENDIX A 2012 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

returns that included multiple reports, respondent 

remarks, or that were marked out of business and 

report forms with no reported data were sent to an 

analyst for verification and appropriate action. 

Integrity checks were performed by the imaging 

system and data transfer functions. Standard quality 

control procedures were in place that required that 

randomly selected batches of data keyed from image 

be re-entered by a different operator to verify the 

work and evaluate key entry operators. All systems 

and programs were thoroughly tested before going 

on-line and were monitored throughout the 

processing period.

Developing accurate processing methods is 

complicated by the complex structure of agriculture. 

Among the complexities are the many places to be 

included, the variety of arrangements under which 

farms are operated, the continuing changes in the 

relationship of operators to the farm operated, the 

expiration of leases and the initiation or renewal of 

leases, the problem of obtaining a complete list of 

agriculture operations, the difficulty of contacting 

and identifying some types of contractor/contractee 

relationships, the operator’s absence from the farm 

during the data collection period, and the operator’s 

opinion that part or all of the operation does not 

qualify and should not be included in the census. 

During data collection and processing of the census, 

all operations underwent a number of quality control 

checks to ensure results were as accurate as possible.

Item Nonresponse

All item nonresponse actions provide another 

opportunity to introduce measurement errors. 

Regardless of whether it was previously reported 

data, administrative data, the nearest neighbor 

algorithm, or manually imputed by an analyst, some 

risk exists that the imputed value does not equal the 

actual value. Previously reported and administrative 

data were used only when they related to the census 

reference period. A new nearest neighbor was 

randomly selected for each incident to eliminate the 

chance of a consistent bias.

Record Matching Error

The process of building and expanding the CML 

involves finding new list sources and checking for 

names not on the list. An automated processing 

system compared each new name to the existing 

CML names and “linked” like records for the 

purpose of preventing duplication. New names with 

strong links to a CML name were discarded and 

those with no links were added as potential farms. 

Names with weak links, possible matches, were 

reviewed by staff to determine whether the new 

name should be added. Despite this thorough 

review, some new names may have been erroneously 

added or deleted. Additions could contribute to 

duplication (overcoverage) whereas deletions could 

contribute to undercoverage. As a result, some 

names received more than one report form, and some 

farm operators did not receive a report form. 

Respondents were instructed to complete one form 

and return all forms so the duplication could be 

removed.

Another chance for error came when comparing June 

Agricultural Survey tract operator names to the 

CML. Area operators whose names were not found 

on the CML were part of the measure of list 

incompleteness, or NML. Mistakes in determining 

overlap status resulted in overcounts (including a 

tract whose operator was on the CML) or 

undercounts (excluding a tract whose operator was 

not on the CML). All tracts determined to not be on 

the list were triple checked to eliminate, or at least 

minimize, any error. NML tract operators were 

mailed a report form printed in a different color. In 

order to attempt to identify duplication, all 

respondents who received multiple report forms 

were instructed to complete the CML version and 

return all forms so duplication could be removed.

Records in the 2012 JAS were matched to the 2012 

census using probabilistic record linkage. The

records of operations with unresolved farm status 

were reviewed by the field offices. If farm status 

could not be resolved, the probability of an operation 

being a farm was imputed using a missing data 

model. The uncertainty associated with this estimate, 

with the exception of model uncertainty, was 

accounted for, but errors not found through this 

process were not.

Model Uncertainty Error

Five logistic models were developed in the process 

of adjusting the farm numbers for undercoverage, 
2012 Census of Agriculture APPENDIX A A - 19

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

nonresponse, and misclassification. One model 

estimated the probability of an agricultural operation 

with unresolved farm status being a farm. The 

remaining four models estimated the probability of 

coverage, response, and correct classification of 

farms and of nonfarms. Each model was fit 

independently by two people. For some models, both 

statisticians obtained the same model. Although the 

covariates in the two selected models differed some 

for the other logistic models, the estimated 

probabilities were similar, but not identical. The 

reported standard errors account for the variability in 

the parameter estimates of the selected models, but 

not for the additional variation due to model 

uncertainty. They also do not account for any bias 

associated with a model.

General Explanation and Census of Agriculture Report Form

DEVELOPMENT OF THE CENSUS

REPORT FORMS

Prior to release of the results from the 2007 Census 

of Agriculture, NASS was preparing for the 2012

Census of Agriculture. The first team established 

was the 2012 Census Content Team. This team was 

tasked with content determination and report form 

development. They reviewed the 2007 report form 

content, solicited input from internal and external 

customers, developed criteria for determining 

acceptance and/or rejection of content for the 2012

Census of Agriculture report forms, tested the 

effectiveness of the report forms for various modes 

of data collection (mail, telephone, personal 

interview, and electronic data reporting), and made 

recommendations to NASS senior executives for 

final determination.

Throughout development NASS sought advice and 

input from the data user community. Integral 

partners included the Advisory Committee on 

Agriculture Statistics, State departments of 

agriculture and other State government officials, 

Federal agency officials, land grant universities, 

agricultural trade associations, media, and various 

Community Based Organizations. 

 

NASS conducted the 2010 Census of Agriculture 

Content Test in early 2011. The test consisted of 

three phases: cognitive pretesting, national mail-out, 

and follow-up interviews. Results from the testing 

produced one final report form type -- a 24-page 

regionalized form with 7 versions (12-A101 thru 12-

A107). The regionalized report forms include crop 

sections designed to facilitate reporting crops most 

commonly grown within a report form region. Many 

items in these sections are either prelisted in the 

tables or listed below the tables. A sample copy of 

the report form and instruction sheet is included in 

this appendix.

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS

The following definitions and explanations provide a 

detailed description of specific terms and phrases 

used in this publication. Items in the publication 

tables which carry the note ‘‘See text’’ also are 

explained. Report form section number references 

refer to the regional version. Many of the definitions 

and explanations are the same as those used in earlier 

censuses.

Acres and quantity harvested. Crops were reported 

in whole acres, except for the following crops that 

were reported in tenths of acres: tobacco, nursery 

and greenhouse crops in the open, vegetables 

including potatoes and sweet potatoes, fruit and nut 

crops including land in orchards, and berries; and in 

Hawaii, coffee. Totals for crops reported in tenths of 

acres were rounded to whole acres at the aggregate 

level during the tabulation process. Nursery and 

greenhouse crops grown under glass or other 

protection were reported in square feet and are 

published in square feet. 

If two or more crops were harvested from the same 

land during the year (double cropping), the acres 

were counted for each crop. Therefore, the total 

acres of all crops harvested could exceed the acres of 

cropland harvested. An exception to this procedure 

was hay. 

When more than one cutting of hay was taken from 

the same acres, the acres were counted only once. If 

there were multiple cuttings of one type of hay 

production, e.g. two cuttings of alfalfa for dry hay, 

acreage was reported once but the quantity harvested 

includes all cuttings. Acreage cut and tons harvested 

for both dry hay and haylage, silage, or greenchop 

was reported for each crop. For interplanted crops or 

‘‘skip-row’’ crops, acres were reported according to 

the portion of the field occupied, whether by a crop 

or whether it was idle land. If a crop was interplanted 

in an orchard or vineyard and harvested, then the 

entire orchard or vineyard acreage was reported 

under the appropriate fruit crop and the interplanted 

estimated crop acreage was reported under the 

appropriate crop. 

If a crop was planted but not harvested, the acres 

were not reported as harvested. These acres were 

reported in the ‘‘land’’ section on the report form 

under the appropriate cropland items – cropland on 

which all crops failed or were abandoned, cropland 

in cultivated summer fallow, cropland idle or used 

for cover crops or soil-improvement but not 

harvested and not pastured or grazed, or other 

pasture and grazing land that could have been used 

for crops without additional improvements. This 

does not include fruit and nut orchards, vineyards, 

berries, acres in production for cut Christmas trees, 

and acres in production for short rotation woody 

crops that were not harvested. Acreage in these 

commodities were included in cropland harvested 

whether the crop was harvested or not. Abandoned 

orchards were reported as cropland idle, not as 

harvested cropland, and the individual abandoned 

orchard crop acres were not reported.

Crops that were only hogged or grazed were reported 

as “Other pasture and grazing land that could have 

been used for crops without additional 

improvements.” Crop residue left in fields after the 

2012 harvest and later hogged or grazed was 

reported as cropland harvested and not as other 

pasture and grazing land that could have been used 

for crops.

Quantity harvested was not obtained for crops such 

as fruits and nuts, berries, vegetables and melons, 

and nursery and greenhouse crops.

occupation of operator.

Agri-tourism and recreational services. See Total 

income from farm-related sources, gross before taxes 

and expenses.

individuals for human consumption. See Value 

of agricultural products sold directly to individuals 

for human consumption.

production expenses.
B - 4 APPENDIX B 2012 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

American Indian and Alaska Native farm 

operators, total. Data are reported in Chapter 1, 

tables 60 through 70, and Chapter 2, table 50. In 

Chapter 1, table 60 data include farm characteristics 

for principal operator reporting one race only, table 

61 data include farm characteristics reported for a 

maximum of three operators reporting American 

Indian or Alaska Native alone or in combination 

with other races, table 62 data are reported for 

principal operator only, table 63 include data for a 

maximum of three operators for those operators that 

reported only one race. 

In Chapter 2, table 50 data are reported for a 

maximum of three operators reported in the operator 

characteristics section. The individual operators were 

added to the census mail list for most reservations. 

Those reservations that did not include all the 

individual operators on the census mail list were 

identified and the data for the entire reservation, 

including the data for the operators that would have 

met the definition of a farm, were collected on one 

report form. The count of reservations and the 

number of operators that were reported on these 

reservations are included in Appendix A, Table D. 

Amount from State and local government 

agricultural program payments. See Total income 

from farm-related sources, gross before taxes and 

expenses.

 

Amount from Conservation Reserve, Wetlands 

Reserve, Farmable Wetlands, and Conservation 

Reserve Enhancement Programs. See Land 

enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program 

(CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), 

Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP), or 

Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program 

(CREP).

Amount spent to repay CCC loans. This is a new 

item for 2012. Farming operations that receive a 

CCC loan can use cash to repay the loan, purchase 

certificates for use in the repayment, or deliver the 

pledged collateral as full payment at maturity. If a 

farmer uses cash instead of certificates to repay the 

loan, the farmer and the IRS receive an information 

return showing the market gain realized. The farmer 

can repay the loan to the CCC and then sell the 

grain, feed the grain, or store it. These provisions 

only apply until the maturity date of the loan. After 

the maturity date of the loan, the entire original loan 

principal and all accrued interest must be repaid or, 

as an alternative choice, the crop may be forfeited to 

CCC.

Any poultry sold. The number of farms with any 

poultry sold includes all farms with sales of poultry, 

poultry hatched, or eggs.

Aquaculture. Aquaculture is defined as the farming 

of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other aquaculture 

products. The aquaculture production reported in the 

census requires some form of intervention in the 

rearing process and requires inputs such as seeding, 

stocking, feeding, protection from predators, etc. It 

also requires ownership of the stock being cultivated 

and harvesting that is conducted in a controlled 

environment by the operation. The value of sales 

include all sizes and eggs by species and includes 

aquaculture distributed for restoration, conservation, 

or recreational purposes, such as State and Federal 

hatcheries. Distributed fish with unknown values 

were assigned a value based on sales of farm-raised 

fish. 

Aquaculture value. See Aquaculture.

Bantams. This is a new item for 2012. In 2007 

bantams were reported as other poultry. See layers.

Bees. See Colonies of bees and Honey collected.

Berries. In 2012, the value of sales was collected; in 

2007 it was combined with fruits and nuts. 

Biodiesel. See Renewable energy producing 

systems. 

Breeding livestock. See Total farm production 

expenses.

By economic class. See Economic class of farms.

Camelina. This is a new item for 2012. In 2007 and 

previous censuses, data were included in other field 

crops. Other field crops data are comparable.

Cattle on feed. Cattle on feed is defined as cattle 

and calves that were fed a ration of grain or other 

concentrates that will be shipped directly from the 

feedlot to the slaughter market and are expected to 
2012 Census of Agriculture APPENDIX B B - 5

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

produce a carcass that will grade select or better. 

This category excludes cattle that were pastured 

only, background feeder cattle, and veal calves. 

Cattle on feed sold. Data are for cattle on feed sold 

that weighed 500 pounds or more and were shipped 

directly from the feedlot to the slaughter market. 

This category excludes cattle that were pastured 

only, owned cattle that were shipped from feedlots 

operated by others, background feeder cattle, and 

veal calves.

Chemicals applied. For each type of chemical used, 

the acres treated were reported only once even if the 

acres were treated more than once. If multi-purpose 

chemicals were used, the acres treated for each 

purpose were reported. See Total farm production 

expenses; Chemicals.

Cherries. Cherries were reported as either sweet 

cherries or tart cherries. Combined crops or nonspecified cherry acres were not options for the 

respondent. Total acres, bearing age acres, and 

nonbearing age acres were reported for each crop. 

Christmas trees, cut. Data are for acres of 

Christmas trees in production, either cut or to be cut, 

the number of these acres that were irrigated, and the 

number of trees cut along with the value of sales of 

the harvested trees.

Christmas trees, live. These data were reported as 

nursery stock. They are generally sold as balled and 

burlapped trees from the operation.

Chukars. (Chukkars) This is a new item for 2012. 

In 2007, chukars were reported as other poultry.

Coffee. Data were collected only in Hawaii.

Colonies of bees. Colonies of bees were tabulated in 

the county where the bees’ owner had the largest 

value of all agricultural products raised or produced. 

Colonies are often moved from farm-to-farm over a 

wide geographic area. Package bees are not included 

as separate colonies. Colonies of bees were collected 

in their own section to clarify to respondents that 

only “owned” colonies were to be reported versus 

any colonies on the operation. Published colonies 

inventory is the total number of colonies owned on 

December 31, 2012. 

Commodities raised and delivered under 

production contracts. A production contract is an 

agreement between a producer or grower and a 

contractor (integrator) setting terms, conditions, and 

fees to be paid by the contractor to the operation for 

the production of crops, livestock, or poultry. The 

grower receives a payment or fee from the 

contractor, generally after delivery, which is less 

than the full market price of the commodity. A 

production contract involves the shifting of some 

risk and control from the grower to the contractor. 

Marketing contracts, futures contracts, forward 

contracts, or other contracts based strictly on price 

are not considered production contracts. 

Commodities sold to a co-op where some of the 

input items were purchased from the same co-op at a 

discount price were also excluded. Many operations 

produce commodities only under production 

contracts or only independently. Some operations 

may produce a commodity under production contract 

and also produce more of the same commodity that 

they sell independently. The production contract data 

are totals for the portion of agriculture production 

raised and delivered under production contract. 

Crops and livestock inventory, production, and value 

of sales are the total of all production, both 

independent and raised under production contract.

Custom fed cattle shipped directly for slaughter 

under a production contract. Cattle under production 

contract which were not shipped directly to slaughter 

were reported in either replacement dairy heifers 

under production contract or in the Other cattle, 

sheep, livestock, or poultry under production 

contract category. 

Layers under production contract. The production 

contract is based on eggs, but the layers are owned 

by the contractor and are also under contract. The 

layers are ‘produced’ at the pullet farm, which may 

have a separate production contract. This is a new 

item for 2012.

Replacement dairy heifers under production 

contract. This is a new item for 2012. In 2007, 

replacement dairy heifers were included in “Other 

cattle, livestock, poultry, or aquaculture under 

production contract.”
B - 6 APPENDIX B 2012 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Other cattle, sheep, livestock, or poultry under 

production contract. The data for commodities 

raised and delivered under a production contract 

include cattle which were not shipped directly to 

slaughter (backgrounding), sheep, livestock, and 

poultry not listed separately. Layers and replacement 

dairy heifers were included in 2007, but were 

reported individually on the 2012 report form. Data 

are not comparable to 2007.

Vegetables, melons, and potatoes under production 

contract. This category is the number of farms that 

produced and delivered vegetables, melons, and 

potatoes grown under a production contract.

Other crops under production contract. Data are for 

the total number of farms that have production 

contracts for other crops. This category includes all 

crops except grains, oilseeds, vegetables, melons, 

and potatoes.

Commodity Credit Corporation loans. This 

category includes nonrecourse marketing loans for 

wheat, corn, sorghum, barley, oats, cotton, rice, 

soybeans, Austrian winter peas, honey, dry edible 

peas, lentils, small chickpeas, peanuts, sunflower 

seed, flaxseed, canola and other rapeseed, safflower, 

mustard seed, crambe, sesame seed, wool and 

mohair. These commodities differ from those 

included in the 2007 census due to changes created 

by the 2008 Farm Bill. 

Crop and livestock insurance payments received. 

See Total income from farm-related sources, gross 

before taxes and expenses.

Crop units of measure. The regional report forms 

allowed the operator to report the quantity of field 

crops harvested in a unit of measure commonly used 

in the region. When the operator reported in units 

different than the unit of measure published, the 

quantity harvested was converted to the published 

unit of measure.

Crop year or season covered. Acres and quantity 

harvested are for the calendar year 2012 except for 

citrus crops and sugarcane for sugar; limes in region 

three States; avocados in Florida and California; 

olives in California and Arizona; and pineapples and 

coffee in Hawaii.

1. Avocados. The data for Florida relate to the 

quantity in the April 2012 through March 2013

harvest season; for California and Arizona, the 

November 2011 through November 2012 harvest 

season.

2. Citrus crops. The data for region three relate to 

the quantity harvested in the September 2011 

through August 2012 harvest season, except 

limes that were harvested in the April 2012 

through March 2013 harvest season. The data for 

California and Arizona relate to the 2011 through 

2012 harvest season. 

3. Olives. The data for California and Arizona 

relate to the September 2011 through March 

2012 harvest season.

4. Pineapples. The data for Hawaii relate to the 

quantity harvested in the year ending May 31, 

2012.

5. Sugarcane for sugar. The data for Florida, 

Louisiana, and Texas relate to the cuttings from 

September 2012 through April 2013. 

Cropland, harvested. See Harvested cropland.

Cropland idle or used for cover crops or soil 

improvement, but not harvested and not pastured 

or grazed. Cropland idle includes any other acreage 

which could have been used for crops without any 

additional improvement and which was not reported 

as cropland harvested, cropland on which all crops 

failed, cropland in summer fallow, or other pasture 

or grazing land that could have been used for crops 

without additional improvements. This category 

includes:

1. Land used for cover crops or soil improvement 

but not harvested or grazed.

2. Land in Federal or State conservation programs 

that was not hayed or grazed in 2012.

 

3. Land occupied with growing crops for harvest in 

2013 or later years but not harvested or summer 

fallowed in 2012 (except fruit or nuts in an 

orchard, grove, or vineyard or berries being 

maintained for production). Examples are 

acreage planted in winter wheat, strawberries, 

etc., for harvest in 2013 and no crop was 

harvested from these acres in 2012.

4. Land in “skipped” rows between rows of crops 

or field strips. 

Cropland, irrigated. See Irrigated land.

Cropland, other. See Other cropland.

Cropland, total. See Total cropland.

Cropland used only for pasture or grazing. See 

Other pasture and grazing land that could have been 

used for crops without additional improvements.

Crustaceans. These are invertebrate animals with 

jointed legs and a hard shelled segmented body. 

Examples include crawfish, lobster, prawns, shrimp, 

and softshell crabs. 

Custom fed cattle shipped directly for slaughter. 

See Commodities raised and delivered under 

production contract.

Customwork and custom hauling. See Total farm 

production expenses. 

Customwork and other agricultural services. See 

Total income from farm-related sources, gross before 

taxes and expenses. 

Cuttings, seedlings, liners, and plugs. See Nursery, 

greenhouse, floriculture, sod, mushrooms, vegetable 

seeds, and propagative materials.

Cut Christmas trees. See Christmas trees, cut. 

Depreciation expenses claimed. The calculation of 

total farm production expenses does not include 

depreciation because it is a capital expense. 

Depreciation allows the expensing of capital 

purchases over multiple years. It is not included in 

the calculation of Net cash farm income of the 

operation and operator.

Ducks, geese, and other miscellaneous poultry.

See Miscellaneous poultry. 

Economic class of farms. Economic class data are 

the classification of farms by the sum of market 

value of agricultural products sold and federal farm 

program payments. See Total market value of 

agricultural products sold and government payments.

Energy. See Renewable energy producing systems.

Ethanol. See Renewable energy producing systems.

Expenses. See Total farm production expenses.

Farm or ranch operator. See Operator 

characteristics. 

Farms by age and primary occupation of 

operator. Data on age and primary occupation were 

obtained from up to three operators per farm. When 

compared with 2007 results, the average age of 

farmers increased slightly. Older operators may be 

“retired” (with little if any sales) and still report 

farming as their primary occupation since they often 

have limited opportunity for off-farm jobs. See 

Primary occupation of the operator.

Farms by combined government payments and 

market value of agricultural products sold. This 

category represents the value of products sold plus 

government payments. Total value of products sold 

combines total sales not under production contract 

and total sales under production contract. 

Government payments consist of government 

payments received from the Conservation Reserve 

Program (CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), 

Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP), or 

Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program 

(CREP) plus government payments received from 

Federal, State, and local programs other than the 

CRP, WRP, FWP, and CREP, and Commodity 

Credit Corporation loans. See Total market value of 

agricultural products sold and government payments.

The Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) 

program allows producers to enroll a farm in the 

program based upon an agreement to forgo countercyclical payments, receive a 20 percent reduction in 

their direct payments, and a reduction in their 

marketing assistance loan (MAL) rates by 30 percent 

for all commodities produced on the farm. The 

ACRE program provides eligible producers with 

state level revenue guarantees based on the 5-year 

state average yield and the 2-year national average 

price. The program is designed to provide revenue 

support to farmers as an alternative to the price 

support that farmers are use to receiving from 

commodity programs.

Farms by economic class. See Economic class of

products sold and government payments

Farms by legal status. All farms were classified by 

legal status in the 2012 census. In 2007 this category 

was referred to as Farms by type of organization. 

This section collects information for federal tax 

purposes to determine an operation’s legal status. 

The classifications used were:

1. Family or individual (sole proprietorship), 

excluding partnership and corporation.

2. Partnership, including family partnership – in 

selected tables, partnership was further 

subclassified into: 

a. Registered under State law. 

b. Not registered under State law. 

3. Corporation, including family corporations - in 

selected tables, partnership was further 

subclassified into: 

a. Family held or other than family held. 

b. More than 10 stockholders. 

4. Other, cooperative, estate or trust, institutional, 

etc.

Farms by North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS). The NAICS 

classifies economic activities. It was jointly 

developed by Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. NAICS 

makes it possible to produce comparable industrial 

statistics for Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. For the 

2012 census, all agricultural production 

establishments (farms, ranches, nurseries, 

greenhouses, etc.) were classified by type of activity 

or activities using the NAICS code. The 2012 

census is the fourth census to use NAICS. Censuses 

prior to the 1997 census used the old Standard 

Industrial Classification (SIC) system to classify 

farms.

NAICS was developed to provide a consistent 

framework for the collection, analysis, and 

dissemination of industrial statistics used by 

government policy analysts, academia and 

researchers, the business community, and the public. 

It is the first industry classification system developed 

in accordance with a single principle of aggregation 

that production units using similar production 

processes should be grouped together. Though 

NAICS differs from other industry classification 

systems, statistics compiled on NAICS are 

comparable with statistics compiled according to the 

latest revision of the United Nations’ International 

Standard Industrial Classification, Revision Three, 

(ISIC, Revision 3) for some sixty high level 

groupings. Following are explanations of the major 

classifications used in 2012.

Oilseed and grain farming (1111). Comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in (1) growing

oilseed and/or grain crops and/or (2) producing 

oilseed and grain seeds. These crops have an annual 

life cycle and are typically grown in open fields. 

This category includes corn silage and grain silage.

Vegetable and melon farming (11121). Comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in one or more of 

the following: (1) growing vegetables and/or melon 

crops, (2) producing vegetable and melon seeds, and 

(3) growing vegetable and/or melon bedding plants.

Fruit and tree nut farming (1113). Comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in growing fruit 

and/or tree nut crops. These crops are generally not 

grown from seeds and have a perennial life cycle. 

Greenhouse, nursery, and floriculture production 

(1114). Comprises establishments primarily engaged 

in growing crops of any kind under cover and/or 

growing nursery stock and flowers. ‘‘Under cover’’ 

is generally defined as greenhouses, cold frames, 

cloth houses, and lath houses. Crops grown are 

removed at various stages of maturity and have 

annual and perennial life cycles. The category 

includes short rotation woody crops and Christmas 

trees that have a growing and harvesting cycle of 10 

years or less.

Other crop farming (1119). Comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in (1) growing 

crops such as tobacco, cotton, sugarcane, hay, 

sugarbeets, peanuts, agave, herbs and spices, and hay 

and grass seeds, or (2) growing a combination of the 

valid crops with no one crop or family of crops 

accounting for one-half of the establishment’s 

agricultural production (value of crops for market). 
2012 Census of Agriculture APPENDIX B B - 9

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Crops not included in this category are oilseeds, 

grains, vegetables and melons, fruits, tree nuts, 

greenhouse, nursery and floriculture products. 

All other crop farming (11199). Comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in (1) growing 

crops (except oilseeds and/or grains; vegetables 

and/or melons; fruits and/or tree nuts; greenhouse, 

nursery, and/or floriculture products; tobacco; 

cotton; sugarcane; or hay) or (2) growing a 

combination of crops (except a combination of 

oilseed(s) and grain(s)); and a combination of fruit(s) 

and tree nut(s) with no one crop or family of crops 

accounting for one-half of the establishment’s 

agricultural production.

Beef cattle ranching and farming (112111). 

Comprises establishments primarily engaged in 

raising cattle (including cattle for dairy herd 

replacements). Pastureland-only farms, those with 

only 100 or more acres of pastureland, were 

classified as “All other animal production farming 

(11299).”

Cattle feedlots (112112). Comprises establishments 

primarily engaged in feeding cattle for fattening. 

Dairy cattle and milk production (112120). This 

industry comprises establishments primarily engaged 

in milking dairy cattle. 

Poultry and egg production (1123). This industry 

group comprises establishments primarily engaged in 

breeding, hatching, and raising poultry for meat or 

egg production.

Sheep and goat farming (1124). This industry group 

comprises establishments primarily engaged in raising sheep, lambs, and 

goats, or feeding lambs for fattening.

Animal aquaculture (1125). Comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in the farm raising 

of finfish, shellfish, or any other kind of animal 

aquaculture. These establishments use some form of 

intervention in the rearing process to enhance 

production, such as holding in captivity, regular 

stocking, feeding, and protecting from predators.

Other animal production (1129). Comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in raising animals 

and insects (except cattle, hogs and pigs, poultry, 

sheep and goats, and aquaculture) for sale or product 

production. These establishments are primarily 

engaged in one of the following: bees, horses and 

other equine, rabbits and other fur-bearing animals, 

etc, and producing products such as honey and other 

bee products. Establishments primarily engaged in 

raising a combination of animals with no one animal 

or family of animals accounting for one-half of the 

establishment’s agricultural production are included 

in this industry group. Farms with only 100 acres or 

more of pastureland were classified as “All other 

animal production farming (11299)”.

Farms by number of households sharing in net 

income of farm. Data were reported by the principal 

operator only. Households that received funds 

because they were only landlords, custom equipment 

operators, or provided other production services 

were not included. Published data can exceed the 

number of operators listed under Operators, all.

Farms by size. All farms were classified into size 

groups according to the total land area in the farm. 

The land area of a farm is an operating unit concept 

and includes land owned and operated as well as 

land rented from others. Land rented to or assigned 

to a tenant was considered part of the tenant’s farm 

and not part of the owner’s.

Farms by tenure of operator. All farms were 

classified by tenure of operators. The classifications 

used were:

• Full owners operated only land they owned.

• Part owners operated land they owned and also 

land they rented from others.

• Tenants operated only land they rented from 

others or worked on shares for others.

Farms with hired managers are classified according 

to the land ownership characteristics reported. For 

example, a corporation owns all the land used on the 

farm and hires a manager to run the farm. The hired 

manager is considered the farm operator, and the 

farm is classified with a tenure type of “full owner” 

even though the hired manager owns none of the 

land he/she operates.
B - 10 APPENDIX B 2012 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Farms by type of organization. This is a new item 

for 2012. The data categorizes an operation’s 

ownership and legal farming status. 

Operation with 50 percent or more ownership 

interest held by operator and/or persons related by 

blood, marriage, or adoption. The data are used to 

measure the principal operator ownership interest in 

the organization. 

Limited Liability Corporation. This type of farm 

structure combines the pass-through taxation of a 

partnership or sole proprietorship with the limited 

liability of a corporation.

Farms by value of sales. See Market value of 

agricultural products sold.

Farms or farms reporting. The terms ‘‘farms’’ and 

‘‘farms reporting’’ in the presentation of data are 

equivalent. Both represent the number of farms 

reporting the item. For example, if there are 3,710 

farms in a State and 842 of them had 28,594 cattle 

and calves, the data for those farms reporting cattle 

and calves would appear as:

Cattle and calves farms . . . . . 842

number . . . 28,594

Farms with sales and government payments of 

less than $1,000. This category includes farms with 

combined sales and government payments of less 

than $1,000 but having the potential for sales of 

$1,000 or more. It provides information on all items 

for farms that normally would be expected to sell 

agricultural products of $1,000.

Farms with sales of less than $1,000. This category 

includes farms with sales of less than $1,000 but 

having the potential for sales of $1,000 or more. 

Some of these farms had no sales in the census year. 

It provides information on all report form items for 

farms that normally would be expected to sell 

agricultural products of $1,000 or more.

Fertilizer. See Total farm production expenses; 

Fertilizer, lime, and soil conditioners.

Field and grass seed crops, all. Data are for all the 

field and grass seed crops not published as field 

crops and include field seed crops which did not 

have a specific code on the 2012 report form.

Foliage plants, indoor (including hanging 

baskets). For 2012, (including hanging baskets) was 

added to the description for clarity. Data are 

comparable.

Forage - land used for all hay and all haylage, 

grass silage, and greenchop. Data shown represent 

the area harvested with each acre counted only once 

if dry hay, haylage, grass silage, or greenchop were 

cut from the same acreage or if there were multiple 

cuttings of dry hay, haylage, grass silage, or 

greenchop. Data exclude corn silage and sorghum 

silage. Quantity produced is the sum of the quantity 

harvested of all hay including alfalfa, other tame, 

small grain, and wild hay and all haylage, grass 

silage and greenchop after converting the all 

haylage, grass silage, and greenchop quantity 

harvested to a dry equivalent basis (13-percent 

moisture). The green tons of all haylage, grass silage, 

and greenchop harvested were multiplied by a factor 

of 0.4943 to convert to a dry equivalent. This 

conversion factor is based on the assumption that 

one ton of dry hay is 0.87 ton of dry matter, one ton 

of haylage or grass silage is 0.45 ton dry matter, and 

one ton of greenchop is 0.25 ton dry matter. The all 

haylage, grass silage, and greenchop quantity 

harvested is assumed to be comprised of 90-percent 

haylage and grass silage and 10-percent greenchop. 

Therefore, the conversion factor used to adjust all 

haylage, grass silage, and greenchop quantity 

harvested to a dry equivalent basis =

[(0.45*0.9)+(0.25*0.1)]/0.87 = 0.4943.

Fruits and nuts tree. Total acres, bearing age acres, 

and nonbearing age acres were collected. In 2012, 

the value of sales was collected; in 2007, it was 

combined with berries. 

Geoexchange system. See Renewable energy 

producing systems

Government payments. This category consists of 

direct payments as defined by the 2008 Farm Bill; 

payments from Conservation Reserve Program 

(CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), Farmable 

Wetlands Program (FWP), and Conservation 

Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP); loan 

deficiency payments; disaster payments; other 

conservation programs; and all other federal farm 

programs under which payments were made directly 

to farm operators. Commodity Credit Corporation 
2012 Census of Agriculture APPENDIX B B - 11

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

(CCC) proceeds, amount from State and local 

government agricultural program payments, and 

federal crop insurance payments were not tabulated 

in this category. The Average Crop Revenue 

Election (ACRE) Program is a program administered 

by USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA). Producers 

can sign up for this optional, revenue-based countercyclical program, which is an alternative to receiving 

counter-cyclical payments (CCPs). 

Grain and bean combines. Data were collected for 

self-propelled combines only. 

Grain storage capacity. Data include the capacity 

of all storage structures on the operation and 

normally used to store whole grains, oilseeds, and 

pulse crops. These structures can be bins, silos, 

buildings, trailers, etc. The capacity or usage of any 

off-farm public or commercial storage facilities was 

excluded. For 2012, pulse crops text was added to 

the Grain Storage screener question for clarity. Pulse 

crops include dry beans, dry peas, lentils, lupines, 

and other minor pulse crops. Data are comparable.

Grains, oilseeds, dry beans, and dry peas sales. 

Data are for the total market value of cash grains 

sold, including corn for grain, seed, or silage; wheat 

for grain; soybeans for beans; sorghum for grain, 

seed, or silage; barley for grain; rice; oats for grain; 

and other grains. Also included is the total market 

value of cash oilseeds sold, including sunflower seed 

(oil and non-oil), flaxseed, canola, rapeseed, 

safflower seed, mustard seed, dry beans, and dry 

peas. 

Greenhouse fruits and berries. Data include 

strawberries, raspberries, etc. grown in greenhouses 

and high tunnels where the crops were always 

covered. See Nursery, greenhouse, floriculture, sod, 

mushrooms, vegetable seeds, and propagative 

materials.

Gross cash rent or share payments. See Total 

income from farm-related sources, gross before taxes 

and expenses. 

Guineas. This is a new item for 2012. In 2007, 

guineas were reported as other poultry.

Harvested cropland. This category includes land 

from which crops were harvested and hay was cut, 

land used to grow short-rotation woody crops, 

Christmas trees, and land in orchards, groves,

vineyards, berries, nurseries, and greenhouses. Land 

from which two or more crops were harvested was 

counted only once. Land in tapped maple trees was 

included in woodland not pastured. The 2012 census 

definition for harvested cropland is the same as the 

2007 definition. 

Hay, all hay including alfalfa, other tame, small 

grain, and wild. Data shown represent the acreage 

and quantity harvested of all types of dry hay. The 

quantity harvested was reported in dry tons (dry 

weight at the time the hay was removed from the 

field for storage or feeding). If two or more cuttings 

of dry hay were made from the same field, the 

acreage was reported only once as acres harvested of 

the appropriate dry hay category, but the production 

from all dry hay cuttings was combined in the 

corresponding quantity harvested. Straw acreage 

and production is excluded.

If dry hay was cut from the same land that haylage, 

grass silage, or greenchop was cut, the acreage and 

production for the dry hay was reported in the 

appropriate category of dry hay and the acreage and 

production for haylage, grass silage, or greenchop 

was reported in the appropriate haylage, grass silage, 

or greenchop category. For example, if 20 acres of 

alfalfa were cut for hay and then the same land was 

used to produce alfalfa haylage, 20 acres and the 

quantity harvested of hay were reported as Alfalfa 

and alfalfa mixtures for dry hay and 20 acres and the 

quantity harvested of alfalfa haylage were reported 

as Haylage or greenchop from alfalfa or alfalfa 

mixtures.

Hay, other tame dry hay. Data shown represent 

acreage and dry tons of hay harvested from clover, 

fescue, lespedeza, timothy, Bermuda grass, 

Sudangrass, sorghum hay, and other types of 

legumes (excluding alfalfa) and tame grasses 

(excluding small grains).

Hay, wild dry. Data shown represent acreage and 

dry tons of hay harvested that was predominately 

wild or native grasses, even if it had some fill-in 

seeding of other grasses.

Haylage, grass silage, and greenchop, all. Data 

shown represent the acreage and quantity harvested 
B - 12 APPENDIX B 2012 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

of all types (alfalfa and all other). The quantity 

harvested was reported in green tons. If two or more 

cuttings of haylage, grass silage, or greenchop were 

made from the same field, the acreage was reported 

as acres harvested in the appropriate haylage 

category only once, and the tonnage from all cuttings 

was combined in the corresponding quantity 

harvested. Straw acreage and production is excluded.

Hired farm labor. Data are for total hired farm 

workers, including paid family members, by number 

of days worked. Data exclude contract laborers. 

Hogs and pigs by type of operation. Hog and pig 

farms were classified by primary type of operation. 

Operation types were farrow to wean, farrow to 

feeder, farrow to finish, nursery, finish only, and 

other. Each description was accepted and the 

reported inventory and sales data were assigned to 

each reported type. 

Hogs and pigs by type of producer. Hog and pig 

farms were classified by one type of producer. 

Producer types were independent grower, contractor 

or integrator, and contract grower (contractee). Each 

description was accepted and the reported inventory 

and sales data were assigned to each reported type.

Honey collected. Data are for pounds of honey 

collected but not necessarily sold. See Colonies of 

bees. 

Horses and ponies, owned. See “Owned horses and 

ponies.” 

Hungarian partridge. This is a new item for 2012. 

In 2007, Hungarian partridge were reported as other 

poultry.

Income. Net cash farm income is published for the 

operation and operator. The difference between net 

cash income and net cash returns is that net cash 

returns does not include government payments and 

other farm-related income as income. See Net cash 

farm income of the operations and Net cash farm 

income of the operators.

Income from farm-related sources. See Total 

income from farm-related sources, gross before taxes 

and expenses.

Institutional, research, experimental, and 

American Indian Reservation farms. Data for 

these farms are combined into a single category. 

Research farms include farms operated by private 

companies as well as those operated by universities, 

colleges, and government organizations for the 

purpose of expanding agricultural knowledge.

Irrigated land. This category includes all land 

watered by any artificial or controlled means, such as 

sprinklers, flooding, furrows or ditches, subirrigation, and spreader dikes. Included are 

supplemental, partial, and preplant irrigation. Each 

acre was counted only once regardless of the number 

of times it was irrigated or harvested. If an operation 

reported less than one acre irrigated, the irrigated 

land for the operation was rounded to one acre. 

Livestock lagoon waste water distributed by 

sprinkler or flood systems was also included.

Land area, approximate. The approximate land 

area represents the total land area as determined by 

records and calculations as of January 1, 2012. The 

proportion of land area in farms may exceed 100-

percent because some operations have land in two or 

more counties, but all acres are tabulated in the 

principal county of operation. The approximate land 

area data were supplied by the U.S. Department of 

Commerce, Bureau of the Census. See Land in two 

or more counties. 

Land enrolled in crop insurance programs. The 

data are for all land enrolled in any Federal, private 

or other crop insurance program. It includes acreage 

of pasture/rangeland enrolled in crop insurance 

programs in areas where it is provided. Data are 

comparable with 2007.

Land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve 

Program (CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program 

(WRP), Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP), or 

Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program 

(CREP). CRP is a program established by the 

USDA in 1985 that takes land prone to erosion out 

of production for 10 to 15 years and devotes it to 

conservation uses. In return, farmers receive an 

annual rental payment for carrying out approved 

conservation practices on the conservation acreage. 

The WRP, FWP, and CREP programs are included 

under the Conservation Reserve Program and offers 

landowners financial incentives for conservation 
2012 Census of Agriculture APPENDIX B B - 13

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

practices. 

Operations with land enrolled in the CRP, WRP, 

FWP, or CREP were counted as farms, given they 

received $1,000 or more in government payments, 

even if they had no sales and otherwise lacked the 

potential to have $1,000 or more in sales.

Land in berries. Data are for total land in berries. 

Respondents also reported harvested acres and not 

harvested acres by individual berry crops.

Land in farms. The acreage designated as ‘‘land in 

farms’’ consists primarily of agricultural land used 

for crops, pasture, or grazing. It also includes 

woodland and wasteland not actually under 

cultivation or used for pasture or grazing, provided it 

was part of the farm operator’s total operation. Large 

acreages of woodland or wasteland held for 

nonagricultural purposes were deleted from 

individual reports during the edit process. Land in 

farms includes CRP, WRP, FWP, and CREP acres.

Land in farms is an operating unit concept and 

includes land owned and operated as well as land 

rented from others. Land used rent free was reported 

as land rented from others. All grazing land, except 

land used under government permits on a per-head 

basis, was included as ‘‘land in farms’’ provided it 

was part of a farm or ranch. Land under the 

exclusive use of a grazing association was reported 

by the grazing association and included as land in 

farms. All land in American Indian reservations used 

for growing crops, grazing livestock, or with the 

potential of grazing livestock was included as land in 

farms. Land in reservations not reported by 

reservation, individual American Indians, or nonNative Americans was reported in the name of the 

cooperative group that used the land. In many 

instances, an entire American Indian reservation was 

reported as one farm.

Land in orchards. This category includes land in 

bearing age and nonbearing age fruit trees, citrus or 

other groves, vineyards, and nut trees of all ages, 

including land on which all fruit crops failed. 

Respondents also reported bearing age acres and 

nonbearing age acres by individual fruit and nut 

crops. Respondents were instructed not to report 

abandoned plantings and plantings of fewer than 20 

total fruit, citrus, or nut trees or grapevines.

Land in two or more counties. With few 

exceptions, the land in each farm was tabulated as 

being in the operator’s principal county. The 

principal county was defined as the one where the 

largest value of agricultural products was raised or 

produced. It was usually the county containing all or 

the largest proportion of the land in the farm or 

viewed by the respondent as his/her principal county. 

Reports received showing land in more than one 

county were separated into two or more reports if the 

data would substantially distort county totals.

Land use practices. This is a new category for 

2012. It includes all agricultural land used for the 

production of agricultural commodities.

Drained by tile. Tile drainage is a practice that 

removes excess water from the soils subsurface. 

Artificially drained by ditches. A field ditch installed 

for surface drainage for collecting excess surface or 

subsurface water in a field.

Conservation easement. A conservation easement is 

a legal agreement voluntarily entered into by a 

property owner and a qualified conservation 

organization such as a land trust or government 

agency

No-till practices used. Using no-till or minimum till 

is a practice used for weed control and helps reduce 

weed seed germination by not disturbing the soil.

Conservation tillage. Conserves the soil by reducing 

erosion and decreasing water pollution.

Conventional tillage. Refers to tillage operations that 

use standard practices for a specific location and 

crop to bury crop residues.

Cover crop. A crop planted primarily to manage soil 

fertility, soil quality, water, weeds, pests, diseases, or 

wildlife. 

Land used for vegetables. Data are for the total 

land used for vegetable and melon crops. The acres 

were reported only once, even though two or more 

harvests of a vegetable or more than one vegetable 

were harvested from the same acres. Respondents 

also reported harvested acres, acres harvested for 
B - 14 APPENDIX B 2012 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

fresh market, and acres harvested for processing by 

individual vegetable crops.

Landlord’s share of the total sales. Data represent 

the share of the operation’s total sales that went to 

landlord(s). 

Layers. This category includes table-egg type layers, 

hatching layers for meat-types, hatching layers for 

table egg types, and reported bantams. 

Legal status for tax purposes. See Farms by legal 

status.

Less than $1,000. See Farms with sales and 

government payments of less than $1,000. 

Livestock and poultry purchased or leased. See 

Total farm production expenses; Livestock and 

poultry purchased or leased. 

Maple syrup. Data are for the number of taps set, 

syrup produced, and value of sales.

Market value of agricultural products sold. This 

category represents the gross market value before 

taxes and production expenses of all agricultural 

products sold or removed from the place in 2012

regardless of who received the payment. It is 

equivalent to total sales and it includes sales by the 

operators as well as the value of any shares received 

by partners, landlords, contractors, or others 

associated with the operation. It includes value of 

direct sales and the value of commodities placed in 

the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) loan 

program. Market value of agricultural products sold 

does not include payments received for participation 

in other federal farm programs. Also, it does not 

include income from farm-related sources such as 

customwork and other agricultural services, or 

income from nonfarm sources.

The value of crops sold in 2012 does not necessarily 

represent the sales from crops harvested in 2012. 

Data may include sales from crops produced in 

earlier years and may exclude some crops produced 

in 2007 but held in storage and not sold. For 

commodities such as sugarbeets and wool sold 

through a co-op that made payments in several 

installments, respondents were requested to report 

the total value received in 2012.

The value of agricultural products sold was 

requested of all operators. If the operators failed to 

report this information, estimates were made based 

on the amount of crops harvested, livestock or 

poultry inventory, or number sold. Caution should be 

used when comparing sales in the 2012 census with 

sales reported in earlier censuses. Sales figures are 

expressed in current dollars and have not been 

adjusted for inflation or deflation. See Farms with 

sales and government payments of less than $1,000.

Market value of agricultural products sold and 

government payments. See Total market value of 

agricultural products sold and government payments.

Methane digesters. See Renewable energy 

producing systems.

Migrant farm labor on farms reporting only 

contract labor. Data are for those operations that 

did not have hired farm workers but reported that 

they did have migrant contract workers on their 

operation in 2012.

Migrant farm labor on farms with hired labor. 

Operators were asked whether any hired or contract 

workers were migrant workers. A migrant farm 

worker is a farm worker whose employment required 

travel that prevented the worker from returning to 

his/her permanent place of residence the same day.

Migrant workers, total. This is a new item for 

2012. The 2007 census did not collect a total. Data 

are for total migrant farm workers whose 

employment requires travel that prevents the worker 

from returning to his or her permanent place of 

residence the same day.

Milk from cows, value of sales. This is a new item 

for 2012. In 2007, milk from cows value of sales 

also included other dairy products from cows. Data 

are not comparable.

Milk from sheep and goats, value. This is a new 

item for 2012. In 2007, milk from sheep and goats 

value of sales was included in Other livestock 

products. Data are not comparable.

Mink, live. For the 2012 census, data are for 

inventory and sales of live mink. Mink pelts are 

included in Other livestock products. In 2007, mink 
2012 Census of Agriculture APPENDIX B B - 15

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

and their pelts were reported together.

Mint for tea leaves. This is a new item for 2012. In 

2007 and previous censuses, data were included in 

other field crops.

Miscanthus. This is a new item for 2012. In 2007 

and previous censuses, data were included in other 

field crops.

Miscellaneous poultry. Poultry other than chickens 

or turkeys. Listed in Chapter 2, table 20.

Misreported or miscoded crops. In a few cases, 

data may have been reported on the wrong line, in 

the wrong section, or the wrong crop code may have 

been assigned to a write-in crop code. A few of these

errors may not have been identified and corrected 

during processing which resulted in rare cases of 

inaccurately tabulated data. Reports with significant 

acres of unusual crops for the area were examined to 

minimize the possibility that they were in error. 

Mollusks. These are invertebrate animals with a soft 

body covering and shells of 1-18 parts or sections. 

Examples include abalones, clams, mussels, oysters, 

and snails. See Aquaculture for more information on 

production reported on the census. 

More than one race reported. This category 

represents those operators who chose to report more 

than one race on the census form. 

Mushroom spawn. Respondents reported only 

sales; growing area was not summarized. 

Mushrooms. All mushroom crops were considered 

grown under glass or other protection and no 

mushroom data were published as area in the open. 

Those reporting mushrooms grown in the open area 

were converted to an equivalent area of square feet 

under protection proportional to their sales. 

NAICS. See Farms by North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS). 

Net cash farm income of the operations. This 

concept is derived by subtracting total farm expenses 

from total sales, government payments, and other 

farm-related income. Depreciation is not used in the 

calculation of net cash farm income. Net cash farm 

income of the operation includes the value of 

commodities produced under production contract by 

the contract growers. 

For publication purposes, farms are divided into two 

categories:

1. Farms with net gains (includes those operations 

that broke even).

2. Farms with net losses.

Net cash farm income of the operators. This value 

is the operators’ total revenue (fees for producing 

under a production contract, total sales not under a 

production contract, government payments, and 

farm-related income) minus total expenses paid by 

the operators. Net cash farm income of the operator 

includes the payments received for producing under 

a production contract and does not include value of 

commodities produced under production contract by 

the contract growers. Depreciation is not used in the 

calculation of net cash farm income.

For publication purposes, farms are divided into two 

categories:

1. Farms with net gains (includes those operators

that broke even).

2. Farms with net losses.

Noncitrus fruit, all. This is a summation of all acres 

reported in the commodities defined as noncitrus 

such as apples, grapes, and plums.

Noncitrus fruit, other. See other noncitrus fruit.

Nursery, greenhouse, floriculture, sod, 

mushrooms, vegetable seeds, and propagative 

materials. Data are for total square feet under 

protection and acres in the open. Individual crop 

data were collected for area under glass or other 

protection, area in the open, and sales of aquatic 

plants, floriculture and bedding crops, nursery crops, 

sod, propagative materials, food crops grown under 

protection, and mushroom crops. Total sales data are 

the summation of all crops. 

Nursery stock crops. Data include ornamentals, 

shrubs, shade trees, flowering trees, evergreens, live 

Christmas trees, fruit and nut trees and plants, vines, 
B - 16 APPENDIX B 2012 Census of Agriculture

palms, ornamental grasses, and bare root herbaceous 

perennials. 

Nuts, all. Data include all nut trees. 

Occupation. See Primary occupation of operator 

and/or Farms by age and primary occupation of 

operator.

Operations legal status for tax purposes. See 

Farms by legal status.

Operator. The term operator designates a person 

who operates a farm, either doing the work or 

making day-to-day decisions about such things as 

planting, harvesting, feeding, and marketing. The 

operator may be the owner, a member of the owner’s 

household, a hired manager, a tenant, a renter, or a 

sharecropper. If a person rents land to others or has 

land worked on shares by others, he/she is 

considered the operator only of the land which is 

retained for his/her own operation. The census 

collected information on the total number of

relate to any vegetable not having a specific code on 

the census form. 

Owned horses and ponies. Only horses and ponies 

which are owned by the operation and sold 

contribute to the total value of production of the 

operation. Horses on the operation which are not 

owned and sold do not contribute to the total value 

of production. Therefore, the value of horses owned 

sold is published instead of all sold horses. This 

removes not owned horses sold that were not part of 

an operation’s value of production. It is not possible 

to publish a value for Total horses sold in 2012 as 

the data were not summarized.

Payments received by the contractee for 

commodities produced under production 

contract. These data show the number of farms and 

the dollar amount the contractees received from 

contractors for commodities produced under 

contract. This is not the market value of the 

commodities delivered, but the payment or fee the 

operators received for commodities delivered.

Peaches, all. Data for all peaches were collected as a 

category in all States except for California and 

Arizona. Peach data in California and Arizona were 

collected separately for clingstone and freestone 

peaches. The data were later combined with all 

peaches for publication. Data for clingstone and 

freestone are found in the California and Arizona 

publications only.

a high quality pasture that could not be cropped 

without improvements. In other areas, it is barely 

able to be grazed and is only marginally better than 

wasteland. 

Plums. This item was reported as an individual item 

only in California and Arizona. All other States 

reported plums in a combined plum and prune 

category.

one or more of the race categories. In Hawaii 

operator race data were collected for American 

Indian (included Alaska Native), Chinese, Filipino, 

Japanese, Korean, Other Asian, Black or African 

American, Native Hawaiian, other Pacific Islander, 

and White. The combination of Native Hawaiian and 

Other Pacific Islander is equivalent to the Native 

Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander category on the 

other forms. The combination of the Chinese, 

Filipino, Japanese, Korean, and Other Asian 

categories is equivalent to the Asian category on the 

other forms. The Volume 1, Geographic Area Series, 

U.S. Summary publication only displays counts for 

the categories of Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific 

Islander and Asian. Data for the 11 Hawaii race 

categories are published in chapter 2 of the Hawaii 

publication of the Volume 1 series.

Raspberries, all. Raspberries were reported as All

and not expenses for land rented to others. The 2012

total farm production expenditure includes all farmrelated expenses such as customwork, fuel costs, cost 

of cutting timber, services provided to hunters, 

cooperative membership fees, etc. However, if the 

income from these farm-related categories was not 

considered a part of the operation (i.e., if the income 

was regarded as derived from a separate business), 

then the associated expenses were not included. The 

contractor’s portion of expenses was solely based on 

computer generated estimates for 2012.

Total organic product sales. The data represent the 

value of commodities produced according to 

USDA’s National Organic Program and sold from 

operations during 2012. Crops, livestock, and 

poultry products were reported individually on the 

2012 report form, but in 2007, these commodities 

were combined and may have come from either 

crops or livestock production. The data for the 2012 

census years is not directly comparable.

Total sales. See Market value of agricultural 

products sold.

Turkeys. Turkey data are a combination of turkeys 

for meat production, turkey hens and toms kept for 

breeding, and turkey brooders, tabulated from three

questions. Turkey brooders are immature birds sent 

to another farm for further growout to meat 

production or breeding. This may result in a turkey 

being sold more than once from different operations.

Type of organization. See Farms by type of 

organization.

Unpaid workers. This is a new item for 2012. It 

includes agricultural workers not on the payroll who 

performed activities or work on a farm or ranch.

Utilities. See Total farm production expense. 

Value of agricultural products sold directly to 

individuals for human consumption. This item 

represents the value of agricultural products 

produced and sold directly to individuals for human 

consumption from roadside stands, farmers’ markets, 

pick-your-own sites, etc. It excludes non-edible 

products such as nursery crops, cut flowers, and 

wool but includes livestock sales. Sales of 

agricultural products by vertically integrated 

operations through their own processing and 

marketing operations were excluded.

Value of commodities. Data show the number of 

farms and the market value of all commodities 

delivered under a production contract. Also see 

commodities raised and delivered under production 

contract.

Value of landlord’s share of total sales. Data 

include the value of agricultural sales received by the 

landlords.

Value of organically produced commodities. See 

Total organic product sales. 

Value of sales. See Market value of agricultural 

products sold.

Vegetable transplants. Data are for vegetable 

transplants grown and sold from this operation for 

transplanting to fields on another operation.

Vegetables harvested for fresh market. 

Respondents reported the total vegetable acres 

harvested, harvested for fresh market and harvested 

for processing.

Vegetables harvested for sale. The acres of 

vegetables harvested is the summation of the acres of 

individual vegetables harvested. All of the 

individual vegetable items may not be shown. When 

more than one vegetable crop was harvested from 

the same acreage, acres were counted for each crop. 

Vegetables, melons, and potatoes. See 

Commodities raised and delivered under production 

contracts.

Vegetables, other. See Other vegetables. 

Wheat for grain. Data were reported by type of 

wheat - Durum, winter, and spring other than 

Durum. 

Wind turbines. See Renewable energy systems.

Woodland pastured. This category includes all 

woodland used for pasture or grazing during the 

census year. Woodland or forest land pastured under 

a per-head grazing permit was not counted as land in 

farms and, therefore, was not included in woodland 

pastured.

Woodland, total. This category includes natural or 

planted woodlots or timber tracts, cutover and 

deforested land with young growth which has or will 

have value for wood products and woodland 

pastured. Land covered by sagebrush or mesquite 

was reported as Permanent pastureland and 

rangeland or other land. Land planted for Christmas 

tree production and short rotation woody crops was 

reported in Cropland harvested, and land in tapped 

maple trees was reported as Woodland not pastured.

Write-in crops. To reduce the length of the report 

form, only the major crops for each region were 

prelisted on the regional report forms. For other 

crops, the respondent was asked to look at a list of 

crops in each section and write in the crop name and 

its code. For crops that had no individual code listed 

on the report form, the respondent was to write in the 

crop name and code of the appropriate ‘‘all other’’ 

category for that section. Write-in crops coded as 

‘‘all other’’ were reviewed and assigned a specific 

code when possible. Crops not assigned a specific 

code were left in the appropriate ‘‘all other’’ 

category. 

Years operating any farm. This is a new item for 

2012. This section collects information about how 

long the operator(s) has operated any farm, 

regardless of location.
